7334.0. "Adding second CD-ROM to Starion 960" by IAGO::tay1dhcp112-53.tay1.dec.com::CUMMINGS (Relax, have a homebrew!) Tue Jan 28 1997 08:59

I've got a Starion 960 to which I've already
added a second disk drive as a slave on the same
cable as the original disk.  I'd like to add a
Toshiba 12x IDE CD-ROM, keeping the original 4x.  Is there
any reason I can't do this or any changes I might
have to make to the way things are connected to
the IDE controller?

	Last time I tried this, just hooking it to the secondary IDE cable, set as a slave drive, worked fine. Be aware that the factory install program gets confused when it sees the 2nd CDROM drive out there, and hangs. You'll have to remove it if you every need to use the restore CD. Chris
