My understanding is that the 2nd drive on the controller must be identical
to the 1st drive. The "jumper" program shows the OMTI controller configured
with the following disk drives:

Vertex V185		(86MB)
Micropolis 1325		(86MB)
           1355		(170MB)
Maxtor 4380		(380MB)
       4380E		(380MB fast access)
Micropolis 4380E	(380MB fast access)

It does not show any drives in excess of 380MB with the OMTI controller.
Apollo uses the Western Digital WD7000 controller for those drives.
