I've never added a second hard drive so I have a question.  I bought a Maxtor 7200 rpm hard drive kit.   My machine is as follows:

Asus P2B AGP with Intel 440BX Pentium II 400 MHz
128 RAM
Primary Master: LBA, UDMA2, 6488 MB
Primary Slave: CD-Rom 36x/AKW
No Secondary Master or Slave

I also have a Yamaha 4260 CRW SCSI on an Aaptec AHA-2920c

I have read both my motherboard manual and the installation instructions that come with the Maxtor 7200.  My motherboard manual says it supports UltraDMA/33, PIO Modes 3 and 4 and Bus Master IDE DMA Mode 2.  The Maxtor comes with a UDMA 66 interface cable.  I'm really not concerned about the speed of the hard drive, I just need more hard drive space.  My question is will this hard drive install alright and run in my machine as a Secondary Master?

Thanks,
Marilyn
