A friend not fortunately enough to enjoy net access is about to get a 386/25
system with a 100+ MB ESDI drive.  His present system has an MFM drive with
40+ MB of files on it.  Transferring 40MB by floppies, with millions of sub-
directories, isn't too appealing.

A while back there was some good discussion about running two HD controllers
on one system.  My friend would like to move his 40 MB in a disk-to-disk
copy in one system.  How can he do this?  He is a developer, and probably
has the smarts to patch DOS or use DRIVER.SYS or whatever if necessary.
