I was wondering if there was maybe an IDE cable that split so that 2 comps can run off of the same IDE hd? I wanna run an old P 166 off of the same hd as my main system. I wanna do this so that i dont have to get 2 HDs or get a removable hd, thank you

That would require a dual boot system with a Hard drive selector, because obviously the two systems DO NOT share the same drivers.

Just poke around local computer stores or ebay and get yourself a nice cheap and small hard drive. It would cost about the same as getting a nice quality hard drive selector anyways.

You could always network them and set the network to share harddrives.
