I would think the problem would be that most IDE controllers don't give you a choice about the IRQ. >>If someone is actually using 2 die controllers with 3 or more >>drives with 386BSD (not NetBSD), then I'd like him/her, to >>mail me the wd.c file. > >Is it possible to have more than two ide hard disk?

UP to four disks can be supported with ease in NetBSD/386bsd/FreeBSD. RIght now, the SCSI and ISA hard drive controllers are separate and all can have multiple drives. SCSI controllers CAN (maybe not well or reliably, but theoretically) have six drives... DOS can only see the first two. -- ------ TSgt Dave Burgess NCOIC AL/Management Information Systems Office Brooks AFB, TX
