Please don't laugh too hard at this one, I figured I had nothing to lose by asking. It seems to me that one of the advantages of having a hard drive is that you get to have three drives hooked up to the ST, i.e. 2 floppies and one hard drive through the dma port. So, knowing essentially nothing about the technical end of things, I was just wondering if it would be possible to somehow hook up a floppy drive to the dma port...??? I guess the idea is that the floppy controller is in the ST, whereas the controller for the hard drive is somehow in the hard drive set up...BUT, would it be possible to add a floppy controller so that you could have 3 floppies, with one through the dma port? Look...I told you not to laught too hard, didn't I? It just seemed to me to be an interesting possibility. As always, thanks in advance for any replies...post to the net, or email directly: maxg@suvm.bitnet ggreenberg@rodan.acs.syr.edu
