Message-ID: Date: 4 Dec 90 20:34:25 GMT Sender: news@magnus.ircc.ohio-state.edu Organization: The Ohio State University Lines: 23 Originator: daemon@left.magnus.ircc.ohio-state.edu Nntp-Posting-Host: left.magnus.ircc.ohio-state.edu I have been reading this newsgroup for a couple of weeks now, and I am surprised at the level of knowledge shown here! I have acquired 2 CP/M systems, and I now currently use a Xerox 820-II system, with 2 8" floppy drives. Here's my question, and please everyone, keep the answers SIMPLE, as I have NO previous computer experience (which is why people gave me the cp/m systems, I believe) and I also don't seem to be very smart about learning computers, either. Anyway, I also have 2 other, functional, 8" floppy drives in a metal tray, which I would like to have hooked up to the currently functioning cpu, so that I have a 4-drive system, AND so that the system know that it has 4 drives accessible (c&d drives?) BTW, I also have another cpu for the xerox that I can put the working floppy drives in, if necessary. I have no idea if this is possible, but it sems to me logical that one should be able to have a functional 4-drive system that knows itself, at least from what I've been reading here recently. Any (simple) ideas? Help! ephillips@magnus.ircc.ohio-state.edu -EP-
