Subject: Three ESDI drives possible?

I will soon be in the position where I will have three 150M ESDI drives,
and two ESDI controllers. Does anybody know/believe/guess that I could
alter the register mapping for one controller, physically alter that
controller's interrupt line, and thus plug both controllers into a PC
so that I could access all three drives?

I know I will have to reconfig the kernel to expect the new controller.
Any ideas about what device major,minor devices numbers to use for
/dev/wd2[a-h], /dev/rwd2[a-h]?

Many thanks for your help with this. I'll be able to put up lots more 386bsd
archives on minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au after this.

Ciao,
