I just took out my Ultra66 and plugged in the Ultra100 TX2 and everything worked fine. Also my boot drive is on the card and I didn't have to change anything to SCSI in my BIOS. I don't recall doing that for the Ultra66 either, but I'll check.

Thank you for all your suggestions, from all of this I decided that Ultra ATA 100TX2 Controller is the option for me:

I don’t want to loose zip drive therefore replacing it with CD-RW is no no.
I don’t want usb because it is slow and expensive.
And by replacing DVD drive with combo DVD CD-RW I would loose the option directly copying from CD to CD.

No problem... I didn't take that into consideration

No Dilema

Why not go scsi..you seem to like filling your machine up this will give you loads off space for more HDs and CDs. I have been using scsi since 1995 with much pleasure and speed.An it doesnt have to cost so much I have an adaptec 2940uw an which I have 3 Plextors drives from various speeds and 2 burners yamaha and plextor(4x and 12x)
