[comp.sys.atari.st] Laser and 2 HD's

jalkio@cc.helsinki.fi (12/28/90)

Hi!

Is it possible to use 2 hard disks (MEGAFILE20 and SH205) and the Atari
SLM804 laser printer at the same time on a MEGA4? The printer has worked
fine on my MEGAFILE30/MEGA4 setup but we couldn't use two hard disks on
my friend's configuration. What should we do?

There is a possibility to connect up to 14 HDs and a laser to ST...
All you need is to check the DMA id numbers of those devices.
My system has 2 HDs DMA 0, units 0 and 1 and a laser as DMA 7.
Those numbers are easy to check using a SCSI-software that normally comes
with HDs (non-Atari ones...).
SLM 804 usually is DMA 5 or 7, depending of it's age.
Setting those numbers...refer to the manual of that device.
