hi folks, this is my first post...i hope someone can help me out
I have just bought a new Abit IP35 Pro motherboard; I need to install my old IDE devices to it, those being 2x IDE hard drives and 2x IDE dvd burners. The mother board only has 1 IDE interface though…I am now stuck!
On my old system I had the 2 harddrives in IDE channel 1 as master and slave, and the 2 dvd burners on IDE2 as master as slave…worked fine but I am now stuck.
Any ides any body?


When I get more cash I will be adding SATA drives and will probably ditch the IDE hard drives but for now I just need to get up and running the old way
Hope someone can help
