How many physical devices will MSDOS support and what mix can they be?
I'd like to have one ESDI and 2 MFM or RLL drives simultaneously, and
I understand from Western Digital that you can only have one 16-bit
adapter in your system at any one time and the 8-bit WD controllers
can be configured for secondary operation... Does that mean MSDOS will
support that configuration or do you need a different OS, i.e. UNIX.
