Title pretty well says it all.

Can you use 2 separate IDE devices on a single 7720UW?

Now here's why.

I'm installing a '386SX bridgeboard and to conserve space and, to reduce the number of cables wanted to attach a CF for the PC hard drive along with the CF attached on the Amiga side.  Going on the same SCSI/IDE bus would be a heck of a lot easier than a separate controller just for the PC side.


No, its one scsi/ide bridge to device.

the pc side can use harddrives on the amiga side tho :) i can't recall if you need sxserv for that or some such. cdrom can also be shared.

I haven't used true ide so i might be wrong here, but if you can use just master or slave it should work. you won't get both though with the acard bridge.
