AM> Hi, are there any general things to watch out for when

AM> I'd also imagine that only one HBA should have its BIOS

AM> The HBA's are an existing Buslogic VESA local bus, and a

AM> Anything else? I'll be Reading the Fine Manuals closely

Not really. You've got most of it, keep things separate. It's not much of a
problem. Even loading the .DSK file twice isn't a problem.
You don't have to have the BIOS disabled on the 2nd one. If you happen to
have disk ID 0 on both HDA's which one it boots from becomes somewhat
interesting. Easy thing to do is not have a ID 0 on the second one. Netware
partitions only.
