I have one of those in a schizo case (IDE, USB and Firewire). Very
useful. Again, make sure the kernel is built for the lowest common
denominator--in this case, either the BOOT kernel or a uniprocessor i386
kernel. An Athlon-optimized kernel will not run on anything but an
Athlon, 686 kernels will blow up on a 386, you get the idea.
