Unfortunately, not.  For the drive I am trying to use is not an A1020.
It's a clone IBM full-height made to be used like one with a home-brew 
controller card similar to the one in the hardware reference (the old one!)
manual.  This is the only one I've found to have the correct pinouts for the
gate and tty for adding MORE than one drive.

Also unfortunately, it still does not work.
