I want to add a 3rd hd to my system but since all the IDEs are full (2 hds, cd, zip) and all the PCIs are full (5 slots all taken) I got an ISA controller card. It is a goldstar prime 2. I am pretty sure the thing works right because after plugging it in I got a lpt i/o error that I was able to fix but it cannot seem to find the extra hd. Am I missing anything here
