Greetings,

I am currently in the process of buying a tower PC but I am
faced with the decision of going with SCSI or IDE type disks.
I want to install windows 95 on 1 disk and FreeBSD on a second
disk and be able to boot from either.  This is not a problem with
SCSI but it is considerably more expensive than IDE.  Does anyone
have this type of configuration set up with IDE drives? [i.e.
windows 95 and FreeBSD on separate physical devices]  The so
called "sales people" from Zeos I talked to weren't very convincing
when they said this was not possible.  Also, could someone point
me to the FAQ for this newsgroup if one exists?  Thanks much.


Jeff
