zip drive

[DM]

I know that you have been hammered with this questions many times, I'm sorry. Just to set it in my mind straight. If I slave my zip drive off my hardrive(66), then the hard drive will always be running at 33, even though I am not using my zip at any such given time. If that be the case, then from what I understand, the add in controller cards use 2 irq's.
Next question is, are they know to share well with others, or do they need to have there own to be happy.
Thanks

No, just having a zip drive on the controller will not affect the hard drive if no cartridge is mounted.

The addin controller cards only use 1 IRQ. They don't share very nicely.
