Allewyn Maniac (V) Mad Scientist From: Solitary confinement Insane since: Feb 2001	posted 03-20-2001 00:53 I'm wondering if I can move a scsi controller, and one HD, out of a system built specifically scsi, and move both to a non-scsi system? I need to replace my IDE HD and my only choice (w/o purchase) is out of the dead scsi server I have.

Some SCSI controllers are not bootable, there needs to be a SCSI bios on the card. However assuming your other system was booting off a SCSI drive with the same SCSI controller you should be fine.
