Is is possible to have two different hard drive controllers on one machine. I.E. a RLL controller and an IDE controller, each with a hard drive? -- J. White |} jdwhite@iastate.edu "Ah, I see you have the machine that goes PING!" | hzl09@isuvax.BITNET

You can have a mix of MFM, RLL, and ESDI with UNIX. With DOS you can mix if the BIOS can be readdressed and the controller supports being put at a secondary address. I don't know what magic you need to make the o/s use the 2nd controller in DOS, in theory it should create the device control blocks during init. -- bill davidsen - davidsen@sixhub.uucp (uunet!crdgw1!sixhub!davidsen) sysop *IX BBS and Public Access UNIX moderator of comp.binaries.ibm.pc and 80386 mailing list "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
