Once again: is there a way to use TWO drives with one ADAPTEC (i.e. within an SCSI-unit) as devices 0 and 1 ??? Sure, I know that the ADAPTEC is able to control both, but where the hell is a driver that gives me the opportunity to address them both ? Anyone who knows ? Anyone who cares ?

Shure it is....... For example I have two 20 Megabyte drives running at my original Adaptec controller (SH 204). The software is distributed by "Eickmann Computer". There are several Tests in the German magazine "ST Computer". But.... it is much cheaper to buy the new "Kleisterscheibe", the disk of the german book "Scheibenkleister" because there's a new version of AHDI driver with a maximum of 12 partitions per disc and 2 drives possible......so buy the "ST Computer 6/89" and look at page 25 ! That will be the solution of your problem.......

I've got 2 65MB Maxtor drives hooked up to an Adaptec controller, addressed as LUN 0 & 1 without any problems. I'm using Supra's formatting utility and drivers, which automagically recognize both drives. ---------------------------------- David Barrett UUCP: ...!decwrl!riscy.dec.com!dbb Digital Equipment Corporation New York ULTRIX Resource Center INET: dbb@riscy.dec.com These opinions are mine, all mine!!!
