Four questions about IDE and CMOS. Message-ID: <1991Jun15.070103.6779@msuinfo.cl.msu.edu> Date: 15 Jun 91 07:01:03 GMT Sender: news@msuinfo.cl.msu.edu Organization: Michigan State University, Computer Science Department Lines: 19 Originator: shawr@buster.cps.msu.edu Hello, I just bought a 200M IDE drive and controler card for my 386sx. I have four questions that hope someone can answer. Question #1: Can ST506 (MFM) drive co-exist with IDE drive? Question #2: Where I can get the program to measure the disk I/O rate and the benchmark of my system. Prefer from ftp site. Question #3: Any recommendation for the IDE controlers? Question #4: How to modify the CMOS to match my hard drive. (Award BIOS) Thank you in advance. rich
