The driver is called CBHD and is part of my book on harddisks
published by MAXON. The upgrade is easy and is described in
the book. In short:
- use a 3.5" drive (5.25" drives won't fit)
- use the second 20 pin connector on the controller board for the
  ST506 data bus; the control bus is shared
- remove one of the two terminator packs
- make a small modification on the controller board (phone or email
  me for details)
- get software that knows how to access the second drive (for example,
  see above)
