I'm in the final stages of planning to build my FreeBSD box and
something has come up that I can't answer. Due to my budget, I'm not sure
if I can afford buying a SCSI controller right away. But I can afford the
HD itself and already own a SCSI CD-ROM drive.
Obviously, I'd like to use SCSI eventually. :) However, is it possible
to use EIDE for now, buy a SCSI controller and HD in the future, and then
use *both* the old EIDE hard drive and the SCSI devices at the same time?
If so, I'll buy the EIDE hard drive for current use and expand into SCSI in
the near future.
Thanks,
Jaime
