Hi, I really need some information on harddrives and controllers.
I have an AT&T 6386/16 WGS with a Winchester WD1006 harddrive
controller and a Micropolis 71M MFM harddrive. The problem is
that the drive is running out of space. I have a choice of buying
another MFM drive and put it onto the existing controller, or
through away the existing controller and the existing drive and
buy a new controller and drive. I need to know if my existing
controller can handle two drives (of the same type). Can anyone
help? What are your opinions on what I should do? Any comment
is welcome.
