Chapter 1 - PL Basics
The PL is equipped with three IDE interfaces, two (2) of which can be used by the
HDD or FFD units, and one (1) which can be used by either the CD-ROM drive or the
Mirror Disk unit. Physically, even though up to three (3) IDE drive units can be con-
nected at the same time, IDE interface specifications require that a controller's simul-
taneous operation be limited to a single master and slave unit, for a total of two devices.
The following chart shows the combinations available when using two IDE units.
