Yep - we've added regular IDE drives into IDE Sun boxes at work. In
particular, our backup machine was a Ultra 5 with a 40G WD in it, and the
current one is a Blade 100 with a 120G IDE in it... I believe it
auto-detected the drive geometry, and the install should handle
partitioning/setup.
I've been debating grabbing an Ultra if I get the chance - the alpha is
nice and stable, so once I get the PA-RISC box stable I'll need a new
weird toy :-)
