Oops, this is not exactly true. From what little information I've been able
to gather, there was a field upgrade that Convergent *informally* had out
just before the unixpc was dropped, that would allow you to have two, and only
two hard disks attached to your machine. As far as I can guess, they did
some fancy magic with the hardware status bits that have one bit for the floppy
(0/1 for on/off) and one for the hard disk (0/1 for on or off) and hacked it
so it would work (0-0 for hard disk number 2).

This is a very nice piece of news, much appreciation for posting it. Is this
company going to market the card? Do they have a good number of drivers 
written for it? What do you have running off of your card, and how well does
it work?
