Re: [cobalt-users] RaQXTR Drive Capacity

[SteelHead <brk@xxxxxxxx>]

I hope to avoid a flame because I do not have an XTR and therefore be
advised this is speculation.  IDE is limited to 2 devices per channel.
Unless there is a second/third header for the IDE, (you would find it
easily) you are linited to just 2 drives for the one IDE channel.  If there
is additional porting indicating multiple channels, find a Linux IDE guru if
no other answers are offered here.

Anything beyond the speculation I just offered, is just more speculation.
