Yes. IDE doesn't permit simultaneous access to disks on the same controller. Well, you could make do with two disks on a single controller, but performance would be terrible.
Okay, two IDE identical drives -- one will be the Master on the Primary controller, the other will be the Master on the Secondary controller.
Next question: Will it hurt anything to put the CDROM drive as the Slave on the secondary controller? This is a no-no in the SCSI world, since I think it slows the entire bus down to the speed of the slowest device. But I need a CDROM to actually install Fedora, and I'd rather not buy an additional controller....
Thanks for the help!
