    2 -  4 drive IDE:  "Laser"
    3 - 12 drive IDE:  "Clipper"
The default setting (under OS v3.4.803) for a 1000 is "Mortie".

Evidently, if the hardware supports it, you can bump it up to support even more drives

Just my inflation adjusted $0.02.

I wonder what would happen if one were to drop in eight drives in a four drive model and set the bios for a 12 drive clipper model? Let me know what happens if anyone out there is brave enough to try it (or has already tried it).
