Not this case, either.  It was just ordinary UDMA IDE connectors, one
primary and secondary, as popular over the last several years.  One hard
drive on the primary, one DVD-ROM drive on the secondary, BIOS set up
accordingly.  The only variation to that was the dual-boot box, which
had two drives on the primary.  No other OS we've installed on this
hardware (Win98SE, Win2000, WinXP, FC4) had any dramas getting it right,
just FC5.
