Greetings all. Is there an IDE adapter that will support 4 floppies? I need to put a 360K disk on my system with 2 floppies there already. This would leave me with a 4th connector free so I need to know if there is a manufacturer of QIC format tape drives preferably 80/160MB that will interface through the floppy controler instead of a proprietary card. Oops, I'd like the names of any applicable manufacturers and device names or models. Also... If a system is using 70ns rams currently, would 60ns speed anything up? I've seen this question before but no anwers.... Thanx in advance... msmith@att3b2.tricity.wsu.edu

I've seen this question before but no anwers.... 60ns chips will only speed things up if you are currently being forced to use one or more wait states. Faster chips only allow you to lower the number of wait states. _____________________________________________________________________________ Scott K.
