Assuming your MFM controller is compatable with the ST506, this should work
(I have two RTs set up this way).  The jumper settings shown in the
Setup Guide are correct, but the cabling is shown wrong (at least in my
setup book).  The connectors on the second controller need to be on
J2 and J3 of the wd1005a-arm, not J2 and J4 as shown in the book.
