All the drives should work together without problems, but 
actually determining which drive to boot from could be a hassle.  
The BIOS drive order will get changed, and some system BIOSes 
will not let you boot from a SCSI drive if an IDE drive is in 
the system.  Generally this is not a problem unless you want to 
re-use the current boot record on the drives.
