- I am interested in finding out how this was done. If anyone has this info,

- special IDE controllers. MSDOS seems to have no problem acknowledging the
- existence of the second hard drive. I've devoted most of the IDE to DOS but
- I would like to mount a small Linux extended partition on it. If anyone knows
- how to get Linux to acknowledge the second hard drive's existence, please let
- me know? I have the port address its controller card and the memory address
- of the card's BIOS. Please forward all responses to this question via email
- if possible. Thanks in advance! =)
