SUMMARY
The .inf file associated with a dual IDE controller card needs to be implemented as a multifunction installation that creates two child devnodes, one for each controller (the PCI enumerator does not perform the devnode splitting for a dual IDE controller).

This article points to a downloadable document, Ideinf.doc, contained within the self-extracting file Ideinf.exe. Ideinf.doc contains a sample multifunction .inf file and a description of the components within a multifunction .inf file.
