8... :) you have 4 IDE chains each can handle a master and a slave
device...

The UDMA/66 lines require a special cable if you are going to run at 66
but will take a standard cable and will run non-66 devices happily
(UDMA/33 or normal)...

The machine currently has hda hde hdg sda sdb sdc and two SCSI cdroms
which is why I need to work out how the BIOS orders all these drives for
LILO... :)
