A question RE: what is necessary for duplexing hard drives in a PS/2 model 80...we already have a 310 (or 314) M hard drive in our PS/2-80, but would like to duplex the system. Can we use another brand of drive that's of a comparable size, or do we have to purchase another IBM drive (whatever it is that they're using now)? I realize that there are two problems here: 1) the drive and controller must be compatible with the IBM\MCA architecture, and 2) it must be supported by NetWare 286 (and eventually 386). Are there any other considerations (besides the normal ones of quality and cost and support) that I should be aware of? Any recommendations for an additional drive if we don't have to stay with the IBM drive? Thanks in advance ... Syl
