Could someone from CBM please tell me if it is possible to use two hard
disks on the Bridgeboard with the following setup:

WD1002A-27X controller
60 meg Miniscribe (3675) 6 heads
30 meg Seatgate (ST238R) 4 heads

Currently, I am unable to use which ever drive is second as it defaults
to the number of heads of the first drive (i.e., if the 1st drive has 6
heads, the second drive thinks it's supposed to have 6 heads, too - and
vice versa).  Is this a problem with ADISK, the partitioning software,
or is this configuration just not supported.  Another netter has indicated
having experienced same problems and solved it by making both drives same
number of heads.

Again, I would appreciate an answer from someone who has been able
to make such a setup work or specifically a response from Commodore.
Calls to CBM customer service have been polite and showed concern
(which is a definite improvement!) but as yet haven't been able to
help.
Thanks,
