I ran Linux on two IDE drivers (120mb Conner and 84mb Conner) with no
problem, mounting the Minix, extended, and DOS filesystems all at the
same time, plus a swap partition. Not so much as an fsck error with
this setup, even though I compiled several huge packages.

ObConfig: Generic 386/33 clone
                8mb RAM/120 & 84mb IDE
                Diamond SpeedSTAR & CTX monitor
                0.97p6 kernel; 4.1 jump tables; GCC 2.2.2d7; X11v2.0
                /dev/hda1 4mb DOS bootable (for BOOTLIN)
                /dev/hda2 10mb Minix FS (/)
                /dev/hda3 90mb Extended FS (/usr)
                /dev/hda4 10mb Swap
                /dev/hdb1 84mb Extended FS (/usr/X11R5)
