Do You use one controller with two drives?

Today I drove me crazy by trying to get my second drive to work (I use
an upgraded SH205. Should be SH205 compatible... :-)

Formatting the drive (under TOS) and installing a file system (hd13:
device 3,13, 10 Megabytes) did work. To test the drive, I filled it up
with some nonsens.

Mounting the drive as /tmp and recompiling the kernel worked well.

Then I rebooted (needed TOS for a change; did not want to feel too
comfteble... :-), restarted Minix and got no response from the second
drive. Drive Zero still working very well...

The Seagate ST412, I use, runs just fine with TOS and RTOS...


Any idea, what the problem is?
