You will have to open up one of your drives and change its dma address to 1 by changing DIP switches or moving jumpers. If you make your friend's drive unit 1, then his CDE... partitions will come up after your partitions, as HIJ... . Be warned that opening the case may void your warranty!!! A friend of mine has bought a ready-made harddisk (SCSi-drive and ICD- hostadaptor) which has dipswitches outside for this. I can only recommend this approach to any harddisk-builder ! Such a thing would contribute to my decision whether to buy a certain drive or not.
