I was wondering if someone could answer this question.
I recently purchased a 386SX (16mHz) machine.  The 
machine came with an I/O floppy/hard drive controller as 
an all in one, but it obviously supports IDE hard drives.  
I didn't realize that the I/O & the IDE controller would be
on the same card.  The SCSI drive I purchased is a Seagate 
ST296N (84 Meg) and the card is the ST-01.  I haven't 
been able to get the SX to recognize the SCSI.  So, what 
I'm trying so ineptly to ask, is can I get CMOS to 
recognize the SCSI drive WITH the existing cards that I 
have.  OR--do I have to go out and buy the ST-02 card 
with floppy controllers?  Or is there something else 
that I haven't thought of yet?

Thank you so much for any help you can offer.  The 
tech support at the company I purchased the computer 
from referred me to Seagate, but I haven't been able
to get through to their tech staff yet.
