  No its not possible. MS-DOS machines do not allow for more than one (1) HD
  controller per-machine. So you are limited to two (2) hard drives by MS-DOS
  and not the Amiga.

  Most hardcards use a fairly standard controller. Opening yours up might just
  reveal the extra port you need to add a 2nd HD to your system. I know my 2
  western digital hardcards allow it....

  Can't say for sure because I don't work for CBM.
