[comp.os.msdos.misc] Dos 5.0 errata

leffler@vela.acs.oakland.edu (leffler) (06/22/91)

On page xii of the MS-DOS 5.0 manual it states "the ability to access
more that two hards. For more info about this feature, see Chapter 6."

However, Chapter 6 makes no mention of this feature.

Has anyone run two disk controllers under 5.0?  Is there anything
special that needed to be done, other to ensure taht you don't
duplicate interupts?

  I don't see why interrupts would be a problem, since DOS doesn't seem
to use them. It may mean two controllers, or it might mean more than two
drives on a single SCSI controller.
