I am thinking of getting a second 31/2 inch floppy disk for
my ST. There are a couple of questions I would like to ask first.
1. From within GEM, I tried installing more disk drives (by selecting
the Install item from one of the menus). I found that disk C is
reserved for the cartridge slot -- this I take is for the
ROM disk. I tried installing more disks, but this is as far as I got.
Now, I remember reading somewhere that the ST's hardware will
handle up to 4 floppies, so does this mean that they have changed
the total number to 2? Does this mean that the hard disk cannot be
used with 2 floppies already installed? I would appreciate it if
someone armed with the official documentation (I don't have any)
or the like would tell me the score.
2. Has anybody succeeded in getting a 51/4 inch drive hooked up to
their ST? I might consider that alternative too.
