Tertiary and Quaternary IDE
Tertiary and quaternary IDE
===========================
The additional tertiary and quaternary IDE controllers, enabled through the :ref:`settings/peripherals:Tertiary / Quaternary IDE Controller` settings, may require manual configuration of guest operating systems, which is outlined in this page. They are also **not bootable**, except on machines equipped with MR BIOS.

.. important:: While the IRQ for each channel can be changed through its respective *Settings* button on :ref:`settings/peripherals:Tertiary / Quaternary IDE Controller`, most operating systems do not allow IDE controllers to use custom IRQs.

-----------------------------------------
.. _bios:
The Windows NT family will detect and enable both additional channels at installation time.
BIOS support
------------
Additionally, they can be enabled after the fact through the *Add New Hardware* control panel, by adding a *Generic IDE/ESDI Hard Disk Controller* device for each channel. Configuration 000x corresponds to the **tertiary** channel, while Configuration 000x corresponds to the **quaternary** channel.
The tertiary and quaternary controllers are only supported (partially or fully) by some BIOSes. The following table lists all BIOSes emulated by 86Box which are known to support these controllers:

Windows NT, 2000, XP and newer
------------------------------
The Windows NT family will detect and enable both additional channels at installation time *only if* supported by the BIOS (see the *Windows NT support?* column on :ref:`the table above <bios>`).
.. note:: If you install the system to a hard disk on one of the additional channels, it will not be bootable if the BIOS doesn't support booting from these channels (see the *Bootable?* column).
Alternatively, the additional channels can be enabled after the system is installed:
* **Windows NT 4.0:** TBD.
* **Windows 2000:** go to the *Add New Hardware* control panel and add a *Generic IDE/ESDI Hard Disk Controller* device for each additional channel. Configuration 000x corresponds to the **tertiary** channel, while Configuration 000x corresponds to the **quaternary** channel.
* **Windows XP:** TBD. (IDE/ESDI not listed - let PnP do the job?)
