Posted August 17, 200717 yr If you need to keep both optical drives, you can add a PCI IDE controller card to facilitate the expansion. but you may fnd it cheaper and more practical to buy an external USB or firewire Zip drive(plenty on ebay). Another possibility is to add a RAID controller card to handle the two hard discs and configure a RAID array(an advanced solution, but it frees up the IDE controller on the system board for your ZIP). Good luck. "Kulot" wrote: > I am trying to install an internal zip drive for backing up information on a > PC.
