If you already have one IBM (CDC, TANDON, or anything) drive in
your PC you are still able to add another drive or even two more
drives. These new drives would be drives b: and c; respectively.
If I'm not mistaken the IBM PC Tech reference manual doesn't
include a diagram for the dip positions for three drives -
only two. I'll post this extra information as soon as I get
home and can look in my notes. I use this setup now with two
TEAC drives and a RAM Drive as drive c:
I highly recommend TEAC half-height drives. I have two 48 tpi
douple sided drives and they work great. I got them for only
$199 each!!!. I got them from COMPUMAIL of California. They
might still have them, although you can never be sure. Some-
times they buy good deal by the truckload and seel out real
soon. Try them, though. Their number is 213-881-1556. Please
be aware that I am in no way affiliated with them at all - I
just like to pass on good information when I can. On note,
though. The drives, come with NO documentation - only a single
sheet describing how they can be mounted inside an IBM. If
you order them you had better ask for a mounting set (apprx $10).
I'll post installation instruction this evening.
