Soyo6BA+IV, 4 ide channels, ide1,2 udma33 cable: ide2,3 udma66 capable. Windows98SE
ide3: 15gb ATA66 Maxtor
ide2: plextor cdrw 8\4\32A
ide1: asus 52x cdrom
ISA Creative Modem Blaster FlashII 56 modem
PCI Yamaha sound card
RIVA Nvida Tnt2 (64) video crd

Want to install 2nd HDD - EDIE 5GB Maxtor for Slackware. Had dualboot using loadlin and wound up trashing my entire drive behind failed attempts at upgrading to slackware8.1b2. Loadlin
was fine but LINUX is a major learning experiment and I need win98 to remain functional at all times.

Should I setup C:\ drive for dualboot and install second hdd as slave making it D:\ drive? What mode is EIDE? Will it slow down the ATA66 hdd? Thanks
