[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Two hard disk controllers...

bevan@ecr.mu.oz.au (Bevan the Aviator.) (02/02/91)

I have an Amstrad PC1640, and a 20Mb Verbatium Hard card.

Is it possible to add another hard disk (XT type, 40+Mb) and controller
to this system?
Will I be able to tell the computer to boot off the new drive.

Thanks in advance,

I have done this to a PC1640 without a hardcard also present,
so the real question is probably "can the hardcard co-exist with
an XT disk controller card?"
