  You probably need to configure the KFQSA adapter for the additional drive.
Each ISE looks like a distinct controller+drive. On a newer MicroVAX, you
can use the console firmware to connect to the adapter in maintenance mode
to enable the second unit. On a MicroVAX II, I suppose you could use the VMS
SET HOST/DUP command. You still might have to put the adapter in maintenance
mode, which will likely make your RF71 disappear temporarily. If the RF71 is
in use by VMS at the time, that may cause problems.

  All of this should be covered in the KFQSA adapter manual.
