When the Award bios selected boot order is IDE/SCSI, the boot order in DOS/WINx is the first DOS partition on the IDE is C:, then the DOS partition on the SCSI is D:, followed by the remaing DOS partitions on the IDE as E:, and F:. I have only run the system with one DOS partition on the SCSI, so I cannot confirm that the boot order would be in the other situations. Why don't you just stick with SCSI drives ? The price of the Quantum Fireball was $385. Ralph Berg wrote: > > Already running my system (DOS/WIN3.x/FreeBSD) with SCSI drive > connected on SC200.
