What is the I/O interface? USB would see the drives as scsi , and you
would need to have the appropriate device name for each.
sdax,sdbx, ...etc. I don't know if the position of the jumper on the
drives makes a difference, I would put the jumpers on master for each one
to test. I don't run two externals per se, but my Printer has a card
reader that is detected as a scsi storage device and I have an external
USB drive, so technically I suppose I do have two, never use the printer
card reader though. I run internal scsi drives also so their are multiple
scsi buses and devices with no issues.
