- I keep seeing these HD controllers that include logic for 4 floppy drives.
- I keep wondering why bother? I thought MS-DOS (what most of these will
- be used for) only recognized 2 floppies, no matter what logic was actually
- present.
-
- Am I wrong? Can one use the 3rd and 4th for something else, like floppy tape?
-
- Anybody have any idea?
