I have a 386 machine running Unix (Esix);  the system has an Adaptec
1542b SCSI controller and a CDC Wren IV drive.  I also have an mfm
drive that I may take out of another machine, to be used as a backup
medium while I'm saving my pennies to buy a tapedrive.

Can I use an MFM card along with the SCSI card?  I would want to keep
the scsi drive as the "primary drive" (LUN 0), and have the mfm 
drive something after that.  (is this possible?)

Anyone there with this config doing this?  If so, what kind of mfm card
should I get, and how do you have your adaptec & mfm cards configured?

Thanks in advance,

Bill
