That, of course, depends upon the sound card. Many ISA sound cards
included places to solder in 4 connectors, although usually only one
was populated. I have an Ensoniq card that has the IDE connector
soldered in, and the Mitsumi, Sony, and Panasonic connectors missing.
I've also got a sound card with built in SCSI. Later sound cards
often dropped everything but IDE.
I've still got my single speed Mitsumi drive with its stand alone
controller installed in a 386 machine.
