I know someone posted something on this subject quite recently -- but
it has already aged off of our system.

I have an IBM PC with an externally mounted 10 meg Tandon and a Western
Digital 1002S-WXZ controller card.  It appears that I can connect a
second disk drive to this controller card.  (There is a 34 pin connector
labelled J1, and two 20 pin connectors labelled J2 and J3.  J1 and J2
are used to connect to the Winchester I already have.)  Does anyone 
know the details of how to do this?

Is it necessary that both disk drives be of the same type and size?
There is only one jumper on the card, and I presume this controls
the number of disk drives.

Any advice posted here would be of interest.
