And atariage still 'delivers' : Connecting 4 drives at once
 Huh - I was writing already 10 years ago that avoid connecting 2 or more hard disks on 1 port of Atari ST(E) machines - because they are old, and extra load may cause unreliable work, or even some failure by components (in adapters too).  And now, when it is old some 35 years 4 drives ...  Why doing it at all ? Only clever thing with so old drives is to save/copy valuable data from them to some newer storage (someone said SD card ?), and then put them aside, in museum.

I'm not sure why Rcamp is trying to use 4 Megafiles either. Look at all the space and electricity that will take up. He would be far better off going with one of the many newer mass storage solutions available these days.

I did have a Megafile 60 and a Megafile 30 together one time but that was waaaay back in the early 90's. Even then, one of them kept overheating and would have to be shut down occasionally to let it cool off.
