Speaking in general SCSI terms (ie: independent of the Amiga), SCSI devices
require a unique device ID (0-7), I believe the computer either has ID 0
or ID 7, the first attached drive should be ID 0 or ID 1 (depending on the
computer's ID), you'll want to set your second drive ID to the next ID number
in the chain.  I don't know anything about mountlists but I doubt you'd have
to re-prep the drive, it should recognize it as long as volume names don't
conflict.  I hope I'm right about the second part, I'm no Amiga expert but
I'm sure about the device ID stuff.
