I forgot to mention in my last posting, that when I said none of the
listed combinations worked, the problem manifested it self exactly as
Johnathan Bayer wrote in the above posting.  Since I tried some combinations
where the WD boards were left out, I wonder if it has to do with the
fact that they are MFM???

Can some people email me controller combinations thay are using, RLL, MFM,
and SCSI.  I will post a summary.  I know there are people running two
two controllers, but are there any at all running two MFM controllers?
