​Using all 4 drives are possible, but just warning.  Those drives will only
be able to be used as single sided drives.  The head select line is the 4th
drive control line.  So if you ever plan on using double sided features you
will be limited to having 3 drives.  Just something to keep in mind.

Otherwise if you plan to stock to DECB or single sided OS-9 disks then
shouldn't be a problem using a 4 drives.​
