- MFM : no problem.
-
- SCSI : No problem if you use a supported SCSI board, which includes
- the Adaptec 154x, Adaptec 174x Future Domain 16x0, Seagate ST0x,
- Ultrastor 14F, and Western Digital 7000. Some TMC950 based future domain
- boards work with the Seagate driver, your mileage may vary.
-
- IMHO : You really, really, really don't want one of the Seagates or
- Future Domain TMC950 based boards.
-
- IDE : You'd need a controller that could run at a secondary
- address, on a different interrupt (or at a different address with
- the different interrupt acomplished with a cut and jump). You would
- also have to do some kernel work to get the second controller supported
- (This has been done, I don't know who did it or where you can get
- the results from).
