The western digital controller seems to be onw of the more adaptible
controllers that I have worked with. Since that first posting, I have
managed to get the western digital to support a number of drives of different
sizes running simultaneously. Currently it is running the 20Meg Tulin and
30 Meg Seagate combination. It has run a 20Meg Tulin/30Meg Tulin, 20Meg 
Seagate/20Meg Seagate/20Meg Tulin/10Meg IBM(??) as well as toher configuratons.
