Just a thought... -------------------------- Pizzabox LCs RULE!!!!!!! Warrior maclover5 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Number of 68ks Liberated: 5
bigsadhu Junior Member Cayman Island 462 Posts	Posted - 09 Mar 2002 : 03:25:01 Why would you need more than one controller? Each one can handle 2 disk ][s, which is all you'd need for copying or anything else I can think of. Anyway, it should be easy enough to test. Pull one out and try a restart. Slot #6 is the recommended location. CC Current score: 1 Apple //e 1 PB 520c 1 Quadra 800 (recently resurrected!) 2 Powermac 6100s Edited by - bigsadhu on 09 Mar 2002 05:51:40

Just a thought... good thought tho, if there's no way to configure an address on one of the cards it's a good bet there would be a conflict. it's hard to imagine one of them autoconfiguring. jt

It would have to be waaay too old to be able to autoconfigure itself. -------------------------- Pizzabox LCs RULE!!!!!!! Warrior maclover5 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Number of 68ks Liberated: 5
