You will always get xruns if you are recording to the same drive as your OS. Even the same ide cable can cause problems. It's best to have two disks hda (OS) and hdc (recording). IDE disks are much larger and cheaper than scsi and these days can handle all the bandwidth for serious multitrack recording. -- Patrick Shirkey - Boost Hardware Ltd.
