From: cls@truffula.sj.ca.us (Cameron L. Spitzer) Subject: 3rd & 4th floppy ? 360 KB ? Date: Sun, 20 Jun 1993 17:19:44 GMT
The atdisk2 patches (for Linux) provide for a second IDE controller.
You have to find an IDE board with configurable address and
IRQ, or do an easy hack on a normal one.
But there's nothing in atdisk2 about adding a third and
fourth floppy drive. I've got 1.44 and 1.2 MB drives,
and I'd like to add another 1.44 and (get this!) a true
360 KB floppy drive.
(My friends' true 360 drives can't always read 360 diskettes
formatted and written on my 1.2 MB drive.)
Has anyone worked this problem?
How far did you get? What are the issues?
Send mail and I'll summarize. Thanks!
