Sorry, everybody, but there is no way to add multiple hard disks to a
UNIX PC. The hard disk controller is only smart enough to handle one,
and the extra control lines do not exist. If someone were to call
this a bug I would agree with them.

You *can* add a bigger drive, and this can be a full height if you
are willing to extend the power and data cables out the back. I'm
currently using a 40MB Maxtor drive this way myself. Any reports from
people using 80MB drives - either full or half height?
