More than 1 harddisk is no problem. I use 2 harddisks, a ZIPdrive and 1
CDROM on 1 of my MSX. On the other I use 1 Harddisk + 1 Zipdrive. The first
is a Turbo R with slotexpander and a Mega SCSI controller, the other is a MK
SCSI controller. On one stage I have tried 4 harddisks on this one and it
worked. Sometimes a harddisk has a jumper for termination and sometimes a
couple of resistor arrays,, But I had in one time a big problem with my PC
with SCSI and I couldn't just fix it with checking the termination. In this
case the order in witch the drives were connected, I had to change and 1
Seagate harddisk had too mutch drain on the signals and the system was
locking up every now and then. Replacing this harddisk with another type dit
fix the problem.
