I know this has been covered before,but I missed the outcome.Is it possible to daisy-chain a western digital 40meg hd with a teac 40 meg hd?If so what jumpers do I need to set(wd=drive 0 teac= drive 1)and what sort of cable does it use ie, is it twisted as on floppies.Would it be better to get a host card that has connections for two IDE drives.Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Bell uunet!van_bc!rsoft!mindlink!a1076 Benndorf-Verster a1076@mindlink.uucp Vancouver Canada voice 604-853-5870 -------------------------------------------------------------------

You shouldn't have any problems with getting the WD and the Teac working together. It would be helpful if you included the model #'s of the drives involved, as some similar styles have different logic boards. If there is any silkscreening on the drives, try to determine where the Master and Slave jumpers on each one. With the appropriate jumpers set, (Master = C: and Slave = D:), you might be ready to go. Sometimes a manufacturer will decide that that isn't good enough, and back to square one you go. Hope that helps. daver -- daver@troller.wimsey.bc.ca (Postmaster Account) Troll's Lair BBS -- (604)294-0349
