I do have later distros on it as well, FC3,5, and 6, and also FC1,which I think still works well. The hardware is about circa 1999. 2 harddrives on ide0, 2 optical drives (cdrom, cdwriter) on ide1, and an IDE PCI adaptor card, which has one harddrive on channel 1, and a DVD rom drive on channel 2. I don't know if the card is still available as I bought them in 2004 ( I have a spare), but here are the details. It's an MRI-PCI/A133 (Microcomputer Research (UK) Ltd). See. http://www.mri.co.uk The card works fine. The only problem I have is that I can't boot DVD's from it, but that's no problem, as I prefer booting using CDroms for new installs. Once the machine is booted there is no problem playing DVD's though. All the best. Nigel.
