Hello,
   I recently added an IBM DSAA3540 disk to my existing Connor CP30174E,
but have failed to connect both to one IDE controller (a MIO card)
completely. What I wish to know is if it is possible to have 2 IDE
controllers in the same computer, coexisting, and whether or not this
will allow me to access both drives (both masters in this case) from
DOS. E-mail for more information.
   Thank you for your help,

   Matthew.
