Hi Brad,

As I don't have any info on what board you're using, this might not be
correct, but with modern Socket 7 or Pentium (II) boards this shouldn't be a
problem at all. At least for the past 2 years, every BIOS I've had supported
SCSI Boot-devices alongside IDE devices. Try getting the most recent BIOS
for your board, then, as you assumed, set your first boot device to SCSI. If
you have an IDE drive in your system, your SCSI-BIOS will tell you your SCSI
drive is D:, don't worry though, WIN95 still sees it as C:.As for LINUX, I
haven't had any problems using it on a mixed system, though it does seem to
prefer it's own primary partition.
