I believe this was a limited growth mentality (kind of like the 640K limit on msdos based machines), who in the world would need more than 4 drives :) . You will have to reconfigure your kernel then makedev the new device(s). -- --- Ken Lam lam@awod.com Integrated Technical Systems Systems, Networks, and Internet Solutions -- Defining Technology Today "'Plug and Play' was only applicable to the original ATARI(tm)"
