Old IDE card question

[Monkey34]

I have an IDE Plus-V3 card. It has a floppy channel, IDE channel, 2 serial ports, game port, and parallel printer port.

I'm thinking of toying with this to see functionality in Win98, XP, and Linux. Think it will work? Would this add an IDE channel, or replace one?

I know you are thinking why bother. I thought the same thing, and only came up with "why not".

I think it would just conflict all to hell with the devices you already have in your computer. The resources used for the serial and parallel ports at least would most likely conflict with the ports on your motherboard. The IDE interface would be so dreadfully slow that it probably wouldn't even be usable. I suppose you could go ahead and throw it in your computer, but don't expect much. I doubt it would actually break anything, though. I threw out a whole box full of cards like this a few months ago. There's just no use for them now.

Well, I'm figuring I'll disable the game, parallel, and serial. I was mainly curious on how the IDE would act. Its got to be IDE33. It was from the 386 days. The hdd that was on it was about 200mb!
