You can use the "Xerox" method of daisy chaining; this is pretty much
built into your system and would just require attaching the extra 8"
Shugart unit up to the back of your current drives and setting the
approproate swicthes on the controller card (I think!).

Other than that, I'm not sure what you might do to add drives to the
system, but I'm sure its possible.  You might try calling Mitch
Mlinar's BBS in Torrance, CA for information, or if you can't reach
it leave me a message and I will help you track down some software.

That only works if you have the 8" hard drive, which by the way, has only one floppy.

You might, but it won't work.

As of two months ago, I moved to Thousand Oaks.  My BBS will not be
on-line until the end of January.  For those of you interested, the
number will be (805) 493-4978...
