How stupid!  I wonder why they did that (after all, they allowed for 
multiple floppy drives on the same controller). It's almsot as stupid as 
POS haeving 2 storage devices (one floppy, one winchester) hard-coded 
into the OS.

According to the docs, the E01S (with the host adapter on the mainboard) 
supported up to 4 SCSI drives. Now, the ROM is different between the E01 
and E01S (if only because the former has a pair of 27256s, the latter a 
single 27512), but I am not sure what, if any, changes were made to the 
filesystem code. Certainly the host adapter _hardware_ could support 
multiple devices (even on the E01 with the external host adapter). May be 
worth investigating.
