I am using a mixture of SCSI and ESDI drives without a problem under
386BSD, so I would expect that IDE would work as well.  I went to SCSI
for my second disk specifically because I knew that I would want to
add a cd-rom drive later and possibly another tape drive (I already
had a QIC drive with it's own interface).
