- I would like to run a RLE controller and a MFM controller in a 386
- so that I may use a RLE and a MFM drive. I know that IRQ 13 is
- the interrrupt for the Hard drive, So for the second controller
- how do I set the IRQ to be different than that for HD #1(IRQ13)
- Would this mean that the on the second controller it will still be
- drive 1 to the controller or will I have to switch that to drive
- 2 as well???
-
- Since the WD controllers are autoconfigureable (RLE: WD1006V-SR2 and
- MFM: WD1003V-MM2) Could I use the MFM with the RLE on one cable
- and then not use the MFM controller??
