  • More than two hd drives on a 3b1

    From e2k@21:1/5 to All on Thu Feb 18 02:43:04 2021
    Hi,
    I think I remember seeing once a system with 3-4 drives on it.
    ( the guy had a pc 5150 enclosure where he put them in)

    Did he simply switched over one of the drives to be the second drive,
    or was there ever the possibility to address more than two drives?

    Thanks

    Excellent, so I wasn't dreaming ;-)

    Were the patches ever available, to talk to four hard drives?
