- re Using SCSI and MFM drives...
- I'm not sure about that "8 bit SCSI controller" but you should just
- install the MFM as normal C or D, and the SCSI as "NONE" in bios
- setup. Assuming your controller and SCSI drive are working and setup
- right, they should appear at bootup as the controller BIOS runs a little
- program and searches for SCSI devices. You'll probably need some software
- that should have come with the controller if you need to format or partition
- your SCSI drive.
- SCSI is not a "hard disk" standard. It's a parallel interface standard.
- Keep that in mind and you'll understand a little bit more about using
- SCSI devices and controllers.
