[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] installing 3.5" drive

rahard@eeserv.ee.umanitoba.ca (Budi Rahardjo) (09/23/90)

I just bought a 3.5" drive. I thought it would be easy to install it,
but ... it didn't work the first try.
Since I don't have any manual ... I have two questions 

1. How can I assign the drive number (A, B) to the drive ? Is it done 
   by setting some switches on the drive ? or is it done by setting 
   some switches on the disk controller ?
   Can I use one disk controller for 2 drives ? (My other drive is a 360K
   drive :-( :-)

2. Is there any "standard" in setting these switches ?
   (I don't know the brand of the disk controller, but the 3.5" drive
   is Epson SMD-400)

thanks,
-- Budi
