[ale] Mixing SATA and IDE?

[Dow_Hurst]

Is there any reason I can't use an IDE drive in a machine with a SATA drive at the same time?  Dell 360n w/RHEL3 Wkstn has a SATA root drive and I want to add an IDE drive.  There aren't modules available to mount the drive.  Only the SATA scsi module is available.  How would I go about getting this working?  Recompile the kernel and modules to support both SATA and IDE?  Haven't done this in a long time so am going to have to review.  Thanks,
Dow
