The E01 (seperate host adapter) officially supported

more than one E20, all the host adapters would respond to the same
address on the '2MHz bus' But ti's not clear to me if you could hack an
E20 to have more than one SCSI drive on the other side of the host adapter.
I'd forgotten about that; in ADFS-land, ADFS knew nothing about device IDs -
everything was ID 0 and so the host adapter could still only have one device
connected up to it. Maybe that was fixed for the Filestore's firmware though,
as it always seemed like a silly omission.
