Hard-Disk Drives
The system provides 2 internal 1-inch (3.5-inch) and 3
external 5.25-inch drive bays.
The system board provides a primary IDE interface (IDE1), a
secondary IDE interface (IDE2), and a diskette/tape interface
connector (FDD CON).
The secondary IDE interface is not for use with hard-disk
drives, but for slower IDE devices such as tape drives or CD-ROM
drives. Without special drivers, MS-DOS� will not recognize more
than 2 physical hard-disk drives. There are no drivers available
to allow this system to recognize more than 2 IDE hard-disk
drives.
