2 CF cards and CD rom?
« on: November 22, 2014, 05:20:35 PM »
So, from what I understand I can now have more than two IDE devices on my A4000? I want to have two different OS installed (one will have 3.1 and the other 3.9) How do I properly implement this. I also still want to have the CD rom drive.
Do I use one of these?

Is there anything else I need to know to make this work?

By the way thanks everyone for all their help and advice in the last few weeks.

Why make things more complicated than it is? Make two or more bootable partitions on your drive and select between the different OSes in the early bootmenu. No extra hardware needed for having multiple OSes.


I understand, but I like the option of being able to have a backup CF card handy and this makes the process of making that copy very easy.
