I have a WD1007A-WA2 ESDI/floppy Disk Controller and am currently running
Bell Tech's SYS V/386. I have a 170Meg Maxtor that is full and want to
buy another ESDI disk. A number of questions:
[1] Is there any problems added the second disk wrt the OS?
[2] Is there any real/praticle limit to the size of the disk?
My three options are 160, 340, or 680 Meg. I am leaning
towards the 340 because I don't think 160 is enough and
suspect there may be a problem with getting a 680 Meg disk
to work. Is there really a problem, or am I just being paranoid?
(BTW, these are all Micropolis.)
[3] Are there any gotchas that I should be aware of?
Thanx for your help.
