Bea,

        Your system is too old to be SCSI so it's IDE.  Here are a couple of
articles that may help you further understand the issue if you so choose.

Subject: [PCBUILD] EIDE or SCSI?


I need to upgrade to a larger hard drive and to not know if I have EIDE or
SCSI.  Is there some code that tells me?  Where do I look?  I have an older
system (mid 1990's) 486/50 with a 520 meg hard drive.  I do not need a lot
of graphics, but need space for programs.

Thanks.
