How? Get a 50 lead flat and connectors or just a connector and press it in between the host-adapter and the existing drive, if you have room in the housing for second drive (do you have GE-Megadrive?). If there is no room, connect that flat to the host-adapter and the drive. Yes, it works! My drive is the M-Drive by Digital-Systems, using the same host-adapter type as GE. Did you remember to set the SCSI device number of the second drive. Can be from 0 to 7. So, you have 8 DMA devices possible, each of them can be a host adapter. To a host-adapter you can connect up to 8 SCSI devices. Total of 64 HDs! Thinking about 64x1200 Mb CDC, 9 ms...
