     Perhaps instead of IDE controller card a SCSI to IDE converter ?
      They are plenty of surplus SCSI cards available at reasonable prices and
they are compatible
     with MSCP however an IDE controller card made homebrew with the ability to
talk MSCP
      would not be an easy task. certainly not as easy as a bus converter.  This
way you can
      have SCSI and IDE and it would work with any OS. By the way disregard my
previous
      posting I hit the send button prematurely.
