You need to increase the kernel paramater NDISK - This is incorrectly documented in the Xenix admin. guide as number of floppy drives but is in fact the number of hard drives. Of course the address and interrupt must be changed for the second controller. You may have to run a wire from the mother board to the interrupt track on the second controller if it is not fitted with a track on the edge connector. This setup works well here with two WD1006 RLL controllers. Mark -- ------------- Mark Webster, PO Box 222, Wahroonga NSW 2076, AUSTRALIA Phone: +61 2 487 1299 -------------
