  Ok, I'll try this in a few minutes.

  Yup, got 'em both selected.  The display shows "AB".  Am I correct
in setting the drive to id 000, though?  A three-digit device id looks
weird to me, since the controller (the kda50 at least) can only talk
to four devices.

  Got kernel support, here's a snipped from my config file:
uda0            at uba? csr 0172150
ra0             at uda0 drive 0
ra1             at uda0 drive 1
ra2             at uda0 drive 2
ra3             at uda0 drive 3

  I'll try those drive tests now...Thanks a bunch!!
