Should do. If it's anything like mine, so long as you have a disk as
the primary on the same controller it will work (most of the time). I
have a HD and the CDROM on my primary, and the second HD on the
secondary controller. If the CD was by itself on the secondary
controller it was never regognised -- whether this is a problem with
the drive, the driver or the controller I have no idea.
Hope this helps,
Scott
