Hmmmmm.... Just looking through <sys/gdioctl.h> and <sys/gdisk.h> and
there are several refercences to a second hard drive. Anyone tried this?
Could it be as simple as swapping a daisy-chain HD cable for the one that's
in there? Then what to do about a 2nd control (data?) cable.
Also - I'm not familiar with DMA operations on the UNINpc and don't have
the specs for the WD2797, but it seems that it wouldn't be hard to write a
utility to write complete blocks to the floppy (direct memory to disk
transfer via. DMA) at a fast rate - - maybe the start of a fast HD backup
system (I sure could use one). Is ther anyone out there who knows how to
put something like this together?
