Our department purchased a 6300+ on which we are currently running
UNIX and DOS applications under Simul-Task.  The system was originally
running MSDOS when we installed a second hard drive (Mountain Card 30MB).
This configuration worked fine with no problems.

The problem is, as I understand it, that under UNIX the system looks at
the ROM on the Mother-board to determine the hard-disk configuration for
the system.  Because of this I do not have any way of accessing the
Mountain Card via UNIX.  I might add the Mountain Card has its own
controller, and I can not use it to control my internal 20MB drive.

Has anyone had a simular problem, and if so, is there an answer?
I would like to be able to use both hard-disks partitioned
80% UNIX 20% DOS.  Right now my only access to the Mountain Card
is to Boot DOS from drive a: and change to "d:".
