- Is there any convenient way to leave a second ST506 drive attached to the same
- cable as the first active drive but NOT need to keep it spinning? In other
- words, is there a way to not disconnect the second drive when it is not powered
- up and still be able to use the first drive?
-
- I am looking to have the second drive available for incremental backups at the
- end of each day but I don't really want to keep it running all the time.
-
- On a different subject, is there an archive anywhere that describes details of
- old versions of BIOS roms? I have one system with Award 3.05.?? that doesn't
- show any method of extended setup in the setup menu and wonder if it is there
- or not.
-
- Please reply by email if possible.

- Thanks
