Not this case, either. It was just ordinary UDMA IDE connectors, one primary and secondary, as popular over the last several years. One hard drive on the primary, one DVD-ROM drive on the secondary, BIOS set up accordingly. The only variation to that was the dual-boot box, which had two drives on the primary. No other OS we've installed on this hardware (Win98SE, Win2000, WinXP, FC4) had any dramas getting it right, just FC5. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.)
