That's exactly how you do it. The drives connected to the card in the 
higher numbered slot will be drives 1 and 2.

Theoretically, you can hook up 14 drives this way (7 x 2), provided you 
don't need 128k, 80 columns, a printer, modem, mouse, hard drive, clock 
card, 3.5" drive, accellerator, etc... ;-)
