I've just added a second Seagate mechanism to my BMS 100 host adapter. The
BMS software can format it and recognize it just fine, but I've been using
Atari's HDX 3.01 to provide auto-booting (and formatting) of the original
mechanism. HDX 3.01 doesn't want to recognize the second drive (partitions E:
and F:). The BMS (Berkeley Microsystems) software does not provide an
auto-boot feature, and I'd rather not go back to floppy-booting of the hard
drive.
Any suggestions as to how I get HDX 3.01 to access the second mechanism?

To be exact: You have to add some code, so the patch won't be that easy... there are other drivers that will recognize the second drive (reportedly the ICD driver and CBHD). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Claus Brod, Am Felsenkeller 2, Things.
