Ok, I know we just went over this, but I wasn't listening.  Would someone
be kind enough to e-mail me the scoop on installing a second hard disk
controller?  Can DOS access four hard disk drives and four floppy drives
that way?  Is it ok to use a WD1007A (ESDI) disk controller for the first
controller (emulating an ST506-style controller) and a real cheap clone
controller for the second card?  (Performance for the second card is not an
issue.)  Can Xenix handle this?

The machine is an Everex Step 386/20.

Since these questions were recently covered in this newsgroup, e-mail to
me is probably a better idea than posting, if you can.  I'm happy to mail
copies of the replies to interested parties.  (Please include a phone number
if you want a copy, in case there are net problems.)
