#SCSI AND IDE
Yes, many SCSI controllers can co-exist with IDE hard drivers. That is
what I have currently in my setup currently. If you want to get some good
information on the different SCSI controllers available try the IBM
hardware forum. Several reps from UltraStor, Procomm and others hang out
there and give you more detailed information. (GO IBMHW).
Also if you get a SCSI controller maker sure it has ASPI drivers. This
helps in supporting many of the different types of devices out there.
