 On the 486-40 with W3.1 only because it came with it, I had drive
 #1 for drive C; drive #2 for drive D; and drive #3 connected to a
 second controller and partitioned into drives E, F, G and H.

 And DOS "saw" all of them.  I ran the BBS on that 486, with the
 system files on one drive, messages on another (FidoNet, PoliceNet,
 FamilyNet, and SafNet -- RC and NC in the last 2), and files on a
 third, games on a fourth, etc. etc. etc.
