scsi controller ? (obsolete ISA type)

Only SCSI devices can connect to a SCSI controller.

Some SCSI controllers also have floppy controllers, especially the older
ones, such as the poster has. Machines of this era han the I/O ports
(including HDD and FDD) on an add-in card as opposed to being on the mobo as
newer machines do. Therefore, if someone was going to replace an IDE based
card with a SCSI one, the SCSI one would have a FDD controller on it as well
as the original FDD controler had been removed on the IDE card.

Get it?

just for the heck of it i decided to work on a 486 that i had sitting
up in my attic. i have two ISA , SCSI controllers and a few small
SCSI harddrives.

due to too many IRQ conflicts, i had to remove the original ide
controller to get the SCSI controller to work (and it detects the
harddrive fine)

however...the floppy drives were also connected to the original ide
controller
but when i connect them to the SCSI controller, they are not
detected on either of the controllers i have.

is there anything special i need to to in order to have the
controllers detect the floppy drives?
