It will work.  I was running two ide disks and a scsi hard drive (plus
scsi tape) under 1.1.5.1 for a while.  Its now running under NetBSD 1.0
and has no problems there either.  I'm using a standard IDE paddle card,
and a 1542C at dma 5, irq 10, port 0x330 (all standard locations).  The
IDE drives were a WDC2250 and some Seagate 130 meg disk.  The SCSI is
a Micropolis 4110.
