Both SCSI drives in a Megafile 44 have to be selected as SCSI drives 0. The
Conner drive must plug into the first SCSI connector (J2, as far as I remember)
and the Syquest drive into the second one. Moreover, you'll have to flip
DIP switch 1 so that the ATARI hostadapter knows that you're trying to
install a second drive.

Hope this helps,
