Hi all, I'm new in this forum, so I don't know if I got the right section
number... My problem is the following: I got an Atari-ST with Cumana OS-9 Level
II, Version 2.1 (I heard it's not the newest one, but I don't know what newer
releases offer). Until now I used a normal 20M SH205 harddisk with a 9M OS-9
partition. Now, since a week, I got an additional drive, actually a removable
cartridge with 44M disks and prepared a cartridge for OS-9. But, as it's a
second drive on the Atari DMA, I have to run it on host adapter address 1
instead of 0, which still is used by the SH205. I tried just to add h1 to
OS9Boot, but I was never able to access the second drive under OS-9. The only
thing I could do was to put the host adapter of the second drive to 0 and turn
off the SH205, this way I was able to install OS-9 and use it, but this way I
can't access my "old" OS-9 partition. But at least to transfer files from the
old partition to the new one, I'd be very happy to be able to access both
drives at the same time - does anybody know how to reach it, or where I can get
a driver that can manage to install a drive on another host adapter address
than 0? I know that this question probably sounds a bit stupid, but maybe
somebody has just an easy answer.... who knows ;) Thanks in advance, and sorry
for my bad English (actually I'm Swiss, that's why), greetings,
            Andy
