Does anyone out there use more than one hard drive on their ST? Does anyone do this with GE-Soft host adaptors? If so, how the hell do you get it to work! I get the same errors (directory corrupting after a while) whether I connect on the SCSI or DMA side of the Host (I have 2 hosts) Help! Thanks to all those who requested overscan details- I will post them as soon as I can make my hard drive behave properly!! Thanks in advance... <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<=Marcus Bointon=>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> << Consultant, Campaign for the Reduction of Entropy (C.R.E.

I have that GE-Soft host-adapter and I am planning to install an another
drive to keep company for my Seagate ST296N.
How? Get a 50 lead flat and connectors or just a connector and press it
in between the host-adapter and the existing drive, if you have room in
the housing for second drive (do you have GE-Megadrive?).
If there is no room, connect that flat to the host-adapter and the drive.
Yes, it works! My drive is the M-Drive by Digital-Systems, using the same
host-adapter type as GE.
Did you remember to set the SCSI device number of the second drive.
Can be from 0 to 7. So, you have 8 DMA devices possible, each of them can
be a host adapter. To a host-adapter you can connect up to 8 SCSI devices.
Total of 64 HDs! Thinking about 64x1200 Mb CDC, 9 ms...
