Want to add a larger, faster hard disk and two floppy drives to an
existing 286 clone (classic HP Vectra) which already has a relatively
slow 20M hard drive and 1.2M and 1.44M floppies driven by one controller.
Will there be any problems (addressing, int., etc) when I add a second
controller on the bus?  Any special software needed?  Am already using
drives A, B, C, D (RAMdrive), E, and F (extra floppy configurations).
Any suggestions, advice, recommendations welcome--e-mail to att!mvups!h7.
(Have external cabinet and power supply for four 1/2 height drives.)
Thank you.    Chuck
