Help! I have a desire to add a second hard disk controller to my IBM PC/AT compatible system. I have a spare true blue IBM hard/floppy disk controller to use in the installation. What I would like to know is: 1) Is this possible ( the microport adddisk program seems to indicate that it is )? 2) What what are the jumper settings for a true blue board to do this? ( part no. 68x3756, assy. # 61-031099-00 ) ( assuming #1 is true ). Thanks in Advance Eric Schnoebelen John W. Bridges & Associates, Inc.

How about a second (or more ;-}) controller in a no-name xt-clone?

I, too, would like to add a second *floppy* controller to my 286 clone. I have four floppy-type devices (1.2MB, 360K, 3.5" 720K, and tape) which I would like to have on-line simultaneously. Can a second floppy controller be installed under DOS 3.2X? If so, where would I obtain the appropriate drivers and info on how to install them? Thanks in advance! ======================================================================== Walt Novinger sun!cup.portal.com!waldo "The real world is 680 Sylvan Ave. #17 walt@plx.UUCP sun!plx!walt NOT user-friendly" Mountain View, CA 94041 (415) 964-9377 Kelvin Throop ========================================================================

You should be able to install a 4 floppy controller and a separate winchester controller. At least I hope so as I have them on order. Western digital makes them. The numbers are WD1002-FOX-FOO4 for the 4-floppy controller and WD1003WAH for an MFM winchester controller. The WD1006-WAH is another choice which offers 1:1 interleave -- Phil uunet!pilchuck!ssc!fyl

At least I hope so as I have them on order. Note that with Microport Unix as of 286 version V/AT 2.3 (and 2.4 when released), as well as V/386 version 2.2 (and 3.0 when released) will not support more than 2 floppy disks. -John Plocher
