The only problem I ran into was that the IDE will always be the boot
drive in a SCSI/IDE solution.  I have both on one of our PC's that runs
just fine.  I have Linux on one Seagate Hawk, NT on another Seagate, SCO
on another Seagate and Win95 on the IDE.  There are also an IDE and SCSI
cdroms available. (In the SCO I have not been able to have both SCSI and
IDE cdroms, so I have to unhook the IDE cdrom before booting SCO.) All
on an Adaptec 2940UW.  Other than the one problem I have listed I have
not had any problems.  BTW, I also use System Commander to boot from
because of all the OS's.
