The secondary IDE controller on my motherboard seems not to be working. I had to disconnect my Zip drive and reconnected the CD-ROM and the hard drive to work from the same cable. Would adding a controller card (PCI) solve the problem? I have seen them on many vendor web pages.As for the hardware installed on my machine, I am running Windows 98 SE on a Dell Optiplex GX1, with a Pentium IIMMX Processor at 333 MHz and 288Mbs of RAM. I have a 2.0 Gig hard drive and a Diamond SupraMax 56K (voiceand fax) modem using the V.92 protocol. Also, I would like to change out my Zip drive for a CD-RW.
