I posted a question here about getting two external drives to work from
a 520ST.  Somebody was nice enough to respond, but I was having problems 
with MH that day and the message went away.  I am thus forced to respond
to this person here; sorry.

To recap, I've got a 520ST and 2 drives.  I've tried each cable in each
position (computer->A and A->B), and I've switched drives.  Both drives
work as drive A, which raises a question.  Is there something I need to
do to the drive to make it think it's drive B?  (Note that while I in
general know what I'm doing in life, I've forgotten nearly everything
I ever knew about ST's.)  I've looked at the drives, and I don't think 
there's anything obvious (like a switch labeled A/B), but then again I
could have missed something.

Thanks.
