- The Seagate ST21/22M (MFM type) and ST21/22R (RLL type) controllers
- can be configured at the secondary hard drive port address. These
- controllers co-exist with IDE cards. You can use one IDE drive (C:
- drive) and one MFM/RLL drive (D: drive) using ST21/22M or ST21/22R
- controller in conjuction with an IDE card. Both of these Seagate
- controllers have a on board BIOS and you have to enable it while using
- it as a secondary controller. You do not need any other software
- driver. The only limitation in this case is that, you can not use more
- than two drives (one IDE and one MFM/RLL) at a time.
