At one time the harddrives had a cable select option if you put the drive at a certain spot it would boot the
Drive in that spot. You see i dont want to dual boot so i figure i can use two drives on cable select and just switch drives .
I got a couple of those handy dandy mobile racks and i figure i can put one opperating system on one and one on another
and if i want to run one put it on the other drive slot and swap them out thus running one drive or the other and not having dual boot
later on when ever that occurs i can put the new work on the other drive and walah who cares
when it hapens i will be ready for either opperating system at any time. And when ptotools 5.4777
hits all i have to do is switch drives and load the driver and i am ready. Do the new drives all have the cable select option /does it pass through the promise card as such
Maby others can try this i thought about rigging a switch to the jumper that makes the drive a master but this seems easier.
Also if I made one drive primary master and the other secondary master on the promise card would that mess up the through put the drives being on different cables?
This is Good for now I guess Thanks
That is all "spoken in a sci fi tone like a robot but not one losing its memory bank.!
