Anyone try to use SCSI and IDE interfaces on the same machine and have it work?

I am looking to add a SCSI card and DAT tape drive to my system but I would like to make sure that the hard drives would continue to do their jobs before I go ahead with this.

Thanks

I'm assuming of course you have no wish to boot from the DAT drive!

Unless you instruct the bios to boot from a SCSI device BEFORE attempting to boot from IDE, you should have no problems. I myself have a machine fitted with two IDE hard drives and two CD roms. It has a SCSI card which propels a tape streamer and a SCSI scanner and sometimes has to have a SCSI drive from an old Commodore Amiga A2000 hooked up to it for file transfers.
