Lines: 26 Re adding a second drive to the Megafile 30. ----------------------------------------- [1] The controller card you have in there is an ABC4070 (adaptic) [2] You will have to select LDN 0 and SCSI 1 as the other will be 0 The dip swichs sit looking from the front of the megafile, next to the power supply directly behind the 20way read/write lines. [3] You will have to insert/soilder in another 20way read/write plug. [4] You may have to get a slightly better power supply as the one I have in mine is only a 40watt supply. This is a brief overview and I hope it helps you with your project. I think you will like alot of others out here find it easier to get a 40 meg drive and place it in there and run it in rll and get 60 megs. Sure saves alot of the hassells.
