Greetings,
    I recently purchased a mountain 4000 40 meg tape drive. This is an external
drive that runs off of the floppy controller. The controller I have is a WD1006V-SR2, which is a 16 bit 2 FD/2 HD controller. I already have two floppy drives
in my system and I don't want to lose either of them. Can I add a secondary
floppy controller to the system and run the tape system off of it? Anyone have
experience with this tape system? Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.
