I want to get an MSDOS system configured with 4 floppy disks.  The hardware
is the easy part - I have a floppy controller card which can drive up to 4
floppy drives.

The part which I don't have much of a clue about is how to get MSDOS to
recognize the extra two floppy disks.  The card came with no software and a
page or two for a manual so that's not much help.

Do I need a separate driver for the other 2 drives?  Is there a public
domain version available somewhere?  Commercial version?  Do the new drives
become D: and E: or are the floppies A: -> D: and the hard disk is E:?

Thanks for any input.
