- I've got a caching IDE disk controller that can be used as a
- second controller. You can use another IDE, or MFM or RLL
- controller as the first controller. If you use it as a second
- controller, you will have to load a small device driver though.
-
- The controller is from Promise Technology Inc and is called
- DriveCache DC-2031. It's a 16bit ISA card. It has an
- 80186 processor and can be fitted with up to 16Mb RAM. The card
- without RAM isn't that expencive. I paid around $ 300 for it.
- It uses standard 1 and 4 Mb SIMMs.
