Yes, most UNIXs will support 2 "IBM" style mfm/rll/ide controllers (Plus of course at least 1 additional SCSI controller). I am running 4 IDE drives plus 4 scsi drives on chinet under DELL unix. There is a from-day-1-AT-spec secondary controller i/o and int address. Don't remember the secondary i/o address but the INT is 15. Most old style ESDI/RLL controllers come with jumper positions for using it as a secondary controller, used a lot on XENIX/SCO UNIX in the old days. Problem with IDE controllers is that they generaly do NOT come with jumpers. Meant to be used in pc's running dos only. However, there are a few controllers that have that capability. I am running a single card, dual IDE controller. Has 2 complete IDE controllers on board (2 floppy connectors and 2 hd connectors) Comes stock jumpered for the dual i/o-int specs. It also comes with DOS drivers for supporting the second pair. Works as is under DELL, SCO, Novell. Costs about $60. I have seen others advertised in Computer Shopper. -- I am created Shiva the Destroyer; Death, the shatterer of worlds! Who is this dog meat who stands before me now? That's the biz, sweetheart.
