It *should* be OK; but it does depend on the drive. I've accidentally
connected stuff up backwards once and no harm came of it.

I don't know about integrated controllers - depends on whether the
controller has a BIOS to it or whether it's just dumb. Sounds like
you've got a standard AT BIOS that supports IDE drives, in which case
the SCSI controller's either completely dumb and you have to boot from
an IDE drive, or (as with standard SCSI controllers) there's a seperate
SCSI BIOS which needs some key-combination entered (such as CTRL-A on
Adaptec cards) on boot up in order get into it and set up your SCSI
devices.

If you know who made the motherboard, you may be able to find info on
the web somewhere...
