I recently received a piece of mail asking if it
were possible to add two floppy disk drives to a
system already configured with one. The answer is
YES. Unfortunately the IBM TECH manual 2.0 doesn't
provide a DIP SWITCH diagram for such a config.
Here it is:
Total # SYSTEM BOARD SWITCH POSSIBLE FLOPPY
drives number 1 drives
1 7 8
-------- ------------------- ---------------
1 OFF ON ON A:
2 OFF OFF ON A: B:
3 OFF ON OFF A: B: C:
4 OFF OFF OFF A: B: C: D:
This information was derived, in whole, from AST's SIXPAK User's
Manual for the AST SIXPAK PLUS Multifunction card, which I highly
recommend to anyone needing 384K more RAM, a parallel port, serial
port, clock/calandar, great RAM DISK software (although there's
plenty of publick domain stuff available) and SPOOLing software,
as well as an optional gameport.
