Yes, I think so. (I have 2 IDE controllers,, which is basically the same problem. Note that a controller where you can set the io addres is handy) But you'll need another wd driver since the stock 386bsd one cannot handle 2 controllers. >I know I will have to reconfig the kernel to expect the new controller. >Any ideas about what device major,minor devices numbers to use for >/dev/wd2[a-h], /dev/rwd2[a-h]? wd0a: minor 0, wd1a minor 8, wd2a minor 16 etc etc. >Many thanks for your help with this.
