I have an old XT with DTC 5150 (mfm) controller and a tandon 20 meg hard disk. I want to add another hard disk: How do I set the 8 switches and 3 jumpers on the controller? What size disk can I add? The current cables only allow for one disk; looks like I insert an IDC in the middle of the wide ribbon to daisy chain it, and add a new copy of the smaller ribbon. I can set the motherboard switch. I guess I have to find jumpers on the drives to set, and terminating resistors. Do I need to do anything non-intuitive with the cables? Is there anything I've left out? please email any advice - douglas ray doug@unimelb.EDU.AU
