I'm not running that exact combo, but when I replaced my AT&T controller with a
WX1.. and added a second HDU, I found that an interleave of 5 gave the highest
data rate, as measured with CORETEST.  I've seen 6 mentioned in a few places,
too.  The change gave me almost a fourfold increase in transfer rate, probably
about what it was with the original AT&T (DTC) controller.  Oh, the disks are
one Olivetti (the original side attached 10M) and a Miniscribe 3212 10M.
