Hi All
        I have just gotten a 386-20 clone that has a adaptec
154XB SCSI controller and a 40M drive in it.  I also just happen
have a 80M CDC MFM drive sitting on the shelf collecting DUST.

Is it possible to put a MFM controller alongside the Adaptec and 
run both.  Any recommendationare VERY welcome.

So far I have replace the cripple bios to the current one IE:Award 3.03D6
with out the drive tables to Award 3.11 with them. Still get unable to 
talk to the MFM Drive using existing MFM controller a friend lent me.

                        Thanks in advance
                            Tom Laird
