Among my generous collection of Stuph is an extra 30 meg ST-138 and a
WD-GEN XT hard drive controller.  My BBS machine (which is always in
need of additional space) could put the extra 30 megs to good use.

The WD card has some empty jumper locations on it (1 header, 4 pins in a
single row).  Might this be a controller address jumper?  And can I use
a second controller alongside my Everex primary controller and its pair
of ST-251-1 drives?

Email responses appreciated.  This group comes through an alternate feed
site, and traffic has been suspiciously low of late.  I'll summarize the
responses to the group.

Thanks in advance.
