I have a SB 16 IDE that I bought a few months ago, through jumpers it can
be set to ide0, ide1, ide2, or ide3.  In my setup, I only have a standard
ide card (only one channel) so I set it for ide1.  It works fine with
both my ide CDROM, and with ide hard drives (This is a great trick to hide
ide harddrives from messydos). I'm not sure if the kernel (even the new ones)
will recognize ide2 and ide3.  Assuming you have only one ide channel currently,
and the card in that SB kit is similar to what I have, there should be no
problem.  Just jumper it to be the second ide card according to the instructions
