RE: IDE - thanks

["Mugleston, Brad" <brad mugleston gwl com>]

OK, Just to clarify in my own mind.

#4 is downward compatible and generic enough to run without a specific
driver so if the driver for #3 did not work that would mean that some non
generic features found in #3 would not be found in #4 and could, possible
over drive the newer chip.

It's working and I'm happy.  Now to recover from my day off and start
burning some CD's.
