Bill, 
	There is a problem using two ESDI drives on the WD1007A-WA2 
controller. The controller will cause the system to lock-up the hard 
disk routine, you will still have control of the console but won't be 
able to do anything. The only solution to the problem was to get 
Western Digital to replace the faulty controller with one the new ones, 
ie. WD1007V-SE2. The new controller supports drives up to 15 mega bits
per second, 2048 tracks, and has full track buffering. This controller 
really flies on a Micronics 386-25. If you need any further information 
give me a call. Hope the information helps.

Charles
