Due to the small size of one of my systems, I only have two drive bays.
Currently there is a 5" and 3" floppy drive installed.  I use a hard-card
for my hard disk.  Since there is a disk controller on the mother board,
the hard card has it's own bios on the card to control the card controller.

Coherent is not amused by this set up. I sent a question into Tech Support
asking, and they state that the driver is not able to use the second
controller.

My questions are:
  1) Has anyone gotten a second controller to work?
  2) If I got the driver kit, is it possible to build a driver for the
     second controller.
     2a) If possible, is this a doable task in a few days?
  3) Anyone have ideas on how I can get Coherent to run on this system?

Thanks!
