I'm surprised that the others weren't more helpful on this.
Adding ST-506 disks is easy -- just use the `idtools' disk
available in the 3B2 Computer Maintenance Reference Manual,
select code 305-395.

This is a large book with all kinds of info on part numbers,
switch settings, etc., plus the idtools diskette.  It will
format hard and floppy disks, do disk-to-disk copying, bad
block mapping, surface verifications, and all those other
low-level things you've always wanted to do.  This thing costs
around $50, and *everybody* should have this.
