Hello,
  I'm trying to understand the structure of host0, host1, host2, etc in 
regards to IDE devices.   I did read Richards FAQ, and he did discuss this 
for scsi devices, but I didn't see the logic explained for the IDE devices or 
whatever determines the host# scheme.  ( ...or it was in there, but I didn't 
understand it )  If someone could explain this, I sure would appreciate it.

  In regards to the /bus#/target# logic, maybe someone could confirm my 
understanding of this as well as I have listed below.

  /bus0/target0 =       primary master
  /bus0/target1 =       primary slave
  /bus1/target0 =       secondary master
  /bus1/target1 =       secondary slave.

  I'm trying to get this fellows internal zip drive working on his system, but 
because he has a different HD and Zip configuration off his IDE slots than I 
do, it's necessary I understand how to figure this out so I can get his block 
device (part4) in the right place for his system.

Thanks,
Robert
