Noel, thank you for the info.

Question.

If I install a new IDE card, what will happen re the existing Lo
Capacity HD that contains the system, programs etc?
Will the old PC just boot right back up, after installing the new
driver card?, or, will I have to reinstall W98, or etc ...?
If the system does boot right back up on the original HD, do I then
simply plug in the new HD and format F disk it?

Again regards.

John, just a comment about your situation.
I have a P2-99 board and used a Ultra 66 IDE extension (PCI slot) to be
able to use higher capacity 40Gig and 80Gig HD,s.
But it needed the 80pin IDE cable too.
The OS HD (C:) is still connected to the motherboard IDE.

You won't belive this but, Aria.co.uk won't do business with me.
I offered a UK VISA card, thru a UK Bank, nominated in Sterling. With
delivery to a UK address.
We exchanged several emails and the Co says that, since I am not
resident in the UK, no thank you.
Sigh.
Guess I'll get my nephew to buy it and hand it to my wife when she's
in the UK.

Problem now on hold for some weeks.
Will advise.
