Keep in mind that what is commonly called "IDE" is actually "ATA", or "AT Attachment interface." In other words, a way of attaching things (like disk drives) to the "AT" bus. Terry, maybe we *can* make a fortune with a $39 SBus "IDE" adapter? You do the drivers, and I'll hack the card. You get the tech support calls, too. ;^) Wes Peters
