Can I use the controller slot for >the second HD for a tape drive? or I need another controller? Many QIC-80 and QIC-40 tape drives (the Colorado Memory Systems Jumbo 250 and Jumbo 120 for example) come with an extra floppy cable. You connect this cable to one of your floppy drives. Essentially, you will have 2 drives (1 tape, 1 floppy) connected to one floppy controller. You will not need another controller if you buy one of these drives. I hope this helps... ---------------------------- Kevin Fluet fluet@ee.ualberta.ca ----------------------------
