The ability of SCSI and IDE drives co-habitating in your computer is
completely up to your BIOS.

If it is an older system, then I would not do it.  However,if it is a
newer system, then you should not have any problems.

For example, I build my own systems (PC).  I use the Asus P2B
motherboard, which handles all this just fine.

The BIOS has a selection for whether to boot from IDE or SCSI, and what
drive to boot from (floppy, C, D, SCSI, CD-ROM, Zip, LS-120, etc...).

Look at your BIOS.  If you see this sort of support, I wouldn't worry.
If not, stick with one technology.
