Bill,

Why in the world do you want the 5 1/4" and 3 1/2" drives on different 
controllers? Your drives will work perfectly on a single controller.

Are you trying to have either drive as drive #0 by switching from one controller 
to another? You can have NitrOS-9 boot from drives other than /D0. Most games 
can be made to work from drives other than /D0.
For that matter, you could use Drivewire and store your disks on your PC rather 
than a floppy disk.
