I just installed a ST02+ST296N combination in my machine where I already have
a Western Digital controler + ST251 and have had no problems with anything.
I have the 251 partitioned up into 32 and 9Mb partitions as C and D while the
296 is divided up into 32/32/17 as E, F and G.

I only have 1 diskette drive [1.2Mb] that runs off of the WD controler but
I don't see why the SCSI controler should have any problems with the other
diskette drives....But then again....I could be wrong.

Anyone else out there had experience with this?
