Hi all,

Question
On a motherboard that has both SATA and PATA buses can you have 
devices on both at the same time or do you have to run one or the other?

I'm planning on upgrading to a ASUS P5B motherboard which has both, 
and I want to transfer my DVD burner to the new motherboard and the 
burner is ATA not SATA. I plan on upgrading to a SATA HD. So 
hopefully will be able to run both buses at the same time. If not I 
will have to update my burner to SATA another 100 bucks or so.

Thanks

Brad Feuerhelm
