Is it possible to have a MFM harddrive and a SCSI or IDE drive
exist on the same computer ? I have an old 8 bit MFM harddrive
(Seagate ST225 and WD XTGEN controller) and I am wondering if
it could be used in say a 386sx system that already has an IDE
or SCSI drive installed ? I would like to have the additional
storage space available, but I'm not worried about the speed of
the old disk... Is there any way to mix harddrive types with an
old MFM drive and controller??

Email; or post if you're the exhibitionist type... I'll post a
summary if content and volume is evident...

Thanks,
