[comp.sys.apollo] additional disk drives on DN3000/4000

Has anyone tried putting more than one
winchester disk drive on a single DN3000?
We need more disk space, and all of our DN3000's already
have disks on them. It seems a little crazy to have to
buy another node just to add another disk to the net,
especially when most disk controllers will handle
two to four drives.

I tried it once without success.  While the hardware is in theory able to
handle more than one disk drive, the disk software is not (or at least it
wasn't when I tried this in SR9.5).
