ba23 chassis disk interface question

We have a Ba23 VaxstationII  under Ultrix2.x we would like to add another
hard disk to. At present it has an rqdx2 with rd53 and rx50 - we pulled the
rx50 and plugged in another rd drive to the pinouts labeled 'fixed disk 1'
in the ba23 chassis but no luck. For our second try we had an 7512 - an
original recipe rqdxe type board. We got the jumper setting from dec to
use this board with an rqdx1, they had no info for the rqdx2 but we tried.
Again no luck.

Our dec repairman said he didn't think the ba23 would really work with two
rd drives even though it was labeled for them and is not sure if our early
style external interface will work with the rqdx2. Anyone who has info
regarding this please contact me.
Thanks,
hurf
