As far as the hardware is concerned, yes you can have multiple controllers in
the same machine.  In my case, I have used both ST-506 and ESDI controllers
in a PS2 compatible (Now sold in Europe by Bull as the BM500).  I was using
it with a Unix operating system sold by Interactive Systems and they do 
support multiple controllers as part of their configuration utilities.
