Does the XENIX disk driver multi-thread with two controllers?

Say I add a second controller.  Is the XENIX disk driver smart enough to multi-
thread, that is, to have both controllers working simultaneously?  Might be an
easy way to improve performance in certain situations.

Side note: Is there a simple replacement for the WD1007 with substantially
better throughput?  Are we talking mucho $$ here?  Should I consider selling
the car?  (Anyone interested...?)
