it is a fairly well documented fact that you can. Think of it this way: A company has to produce two products: - an IDE controller - an IDE RAID controller. It is cheaper to produce one chipset which can do both than to produce two different chipsets. Thus, they simply disable certain features for the non-RAID controller and sell them at a cheaper price. luckily for us, certain members of the hardware community figured this out. jason [EMAIL PROTECTED] jason.pepas.com
