- There is a risk of the two connectors not beeing of the same type(shape),
- as in my TANDON 486....
-
- Ofcause you can always make new cable from the controller to the drives,
- but it seems a bit out of range to the common PC (software) user.
-
- Is there no clever program (to be startet from e.g. C:) which
- forces the machine to boot from the B drive???
