>From an IM conversation a few minutes ago:
me - what OS were you using when you got a StarMax (or other clone) to use
slave drives?
him - 8.6
that was a long while back though
me - But how did you do it?
him - I just slaved the drive out... using dual header cable
nothing special about it
...
I know i did it once...
I have done it many times on umax and power computing machines
me - but how? were you using a software ROM?
him - as i said nothing special at all
and not I am not lying
So there you have it, it's perfectly possible. But when my StarMax's drive
got messed up, I tried setting up slave drives on the machine and no matter
which configuration of drives, buses and master/slave I tried, if it did
actually boot (which it did, normally) it would only ever see one drive on
each bus.
So I have no idea... voodoo? Alien visitation? No idea.
