Will your case hold 2 or more drives? If so, all you might need to do is add
another connector for the additional drive(s). Then add the descriptor "d1" to
your bootfile. What's the capacity of the 3" drives? You can have up to 3
double sided drives or 4 single sided drives in the system (you can get more,
but it's a little complicated).
Oh, to get double-sided operation, if the cable is Radio Shack, you might have
to do more.. not familiar w/ RS cables, but it seems they might be connected a
little squirrely.. not sure.. never fooled with the RS versions myself.
