IDE H/D Support

[John van Vlaaderen]

Hi, Folks :)

Frigid here in NY !!  Longest cold snap since 1890 -- looks like war on 
the horizon -- probably be pretty quick -- Saddam hottails it to 
Sudan -- or some such.  Market should climb out of the present hole -- 
leaving the likes of us to CPR the global economy.

My big question of the day:

Will LinuxBIOS be able to support several IDE cards ??  I actually used 
to have a PCI IDE harddrive controller.  These days one would by the 
3ware (linux friendly) mirroring card.

For a consumer portal and home support system, this would be 
fantastic -- passing down the savings on 200GB disks that are only 
slightly more expensive than 20GB disks.
