[Coco] Consensus on using two floppy disk controller at the same time?

[David Ladd]

Tim,

Using two floppy controllers would be the same as using the CoCoSDC & a
FDC.  You would probably have to write your own routines to switch the MPI
slot for the I/O lines.  Not sure how Disk Basic would handle.

As far as NitrOS-9 goes that is something I think might need to be updated
with the disk driver and maybe have a value some place in the descriptor to
specify which MPI slot the drive is connected through.

Personally, I think this is something that should have been done many years
ago.  It would have been nice to be able to use multiple controllers for
use with multiple drives.
