ESDI controllers (Emulex MSCP controllers come to mind) also support
logical partitioning to present a single physical drive as multiple
drives to the host computer (DU0, DU1, etc), but I don't think the
Dilog DQ696 can do that.
The Webster WQESD/4 supports this as well. It's quite handy, though
I prefer SCSI with removable disk trays.
