That's exactly how you do it. The drives connected to the card in the higher numbered slot will be drives 1 and 2. Theoretically, you can hook up 14 drives this way (7 x 2), provided you don't need 128k, 80 columns, a printer, modem, mouse, hard drive, clock card, 3.5" drive, accellerator, etc... ;-) Virtaully, Warr former Beagle Bros tech support -- ------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reviewer, "PC Magazine" | Warren Ernst - warren@techie.com "Windows Magazine" & "TechWeb"| Fullerton, California, USA Author, "Using Netscape" | "Internet 1997 Unleashed" (c) | http://www.cris.com/~wernst/ "Netscape 3 Unleashed"(contr) |Computer Journalist, Consultant, Author "Presenting ActiveX" | Webmaster, Graphic Artist, Nerd Que and Sams.Net Publishing | "If it ain't broke, don't break it." ------------------------------+----------------------------------------
