I have one of those Universal Disk controller cards I'm not using
and have been looking to sell for over a month.  However I don't
believe it works with a duodisk.  I think the duodisk has a special
card for just the duodisk...

You see the UDC doesn't like daisy chained drives, it has two cable out
the back, and expects the two drives to be connected one to each
cable...
