I need to control two 10 Megabyte hard disks from one XT. The XT already controls one 10M hard disk using the original IBM controller. I want to add one from an XT that is unused. I have looked at the XT reference manual and the hardware and I can't see a way of controlling an extra disk using it. I also can't see a way of having two controller cards in the XT without contention between them. Can someone suggest either a way of controlling an extra disk with the present controller or adding in a second controller or getting a different controller? Or anything else? --Mario O. Bourgoin
