The machine will not recognize ANY second drive.
The drives I have tried
are all consideraby bewer than the BIOS and I just can't think of any
other reason why they would not be recognized.

Can someone suggest a good book that goes into
this type of thing?
Scott Mueller's Repairing and Upgrading PCs
prob'ly 3 or 4 editions before the current one. Try maybe ed 12 or 13
