- A friend of mine currently has one IDE drive with IDE 2HD/2FD interface card
- in his system. He also has an MFM drive, and plans to get an MFM interface
- card, hopefully being able to use both drives. Will the IDE drive and MFM
- drive both be usable in the same system? Has anyone attempted this? If so, is
- there any conflict over which drive is master, which card controls the
- floppies, or anything else which would prevent an MFM and an IDE drive from
- peacefully coexisting?
-
- Thank you in advance-
