[GRLUG] So I have this laptop...

[Mike Williams]

It's a Toshiba Satellite A305-S6872. The laptop chassis has two hard 
drive bays, but only one of them has a connector in it. There are solder 
points for a hard drive connector in the second bay, but I can't tell if 
they're hooked up to anything. Theoretically, it would be possible to 
solder another port into that bay and give me the option of a second 
hard drive, but I don't know if the solder points require another chip 
or something. Is there any way in Linux (Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit if it 
matters) to look in /proc and see if the SATA controller can handle 
another device?
