with your computer. You can add additional drives of the following types:
■
Half-height 3.5-inch diskette drives - The riser card has a floppy controller
that supports up to two diskette drives, one of which is the 3.5-inch
diskette drive that comes with your computer.
■
Half-height 3.5-inch hard drives - The riser card has two IDE connectors
that support up to two drives each. To use another type of hard drive,
such as a SCSI drive, install an add-in card.
