< In a BA23, you use the same cables (a 2nd set obviously) for the
< second DUA1: drive as the first drive. DON'T FORGET TO
< SET THE DUA1: DRIVE AS DS4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The cables

Correct.

< The I/O distribution panel in a BA23 allows for 2 hard drives
< and is intended for a dual RX50. I have never tried a dual RX33
< in a BA23 on an RQDX3, but I presume it would work. I don't

it does if the RQDX3 is the correct rev.

< know if the 2nd hard drive must be connected into the READY
< and WRITE PROTECT buttons. I have heard that the 2nd
< drive can float and that the default is READY and NOT
< WRITE PROTECTED.

Also correct. I happen to prefer to writelock the disk and make it not
ready before power off to avoid the risk of accidental writes(during power
up or down).
