I posted a mail here last week for help on getting two IDE HD's
working on my machine.  I got may replies (Thank you!) and the
solution I used was to jumper my Conner disk correctly to work
as master (Sorry, but I had no info on the drive).
Here is a table on how to jumper Conner disks that worked for my
CP30104:

I didn't try to use two controllers, since the easy solution worked,
but if someone else needs to do this, you need a controller where you
can change the address space for the registers from 1F0 to 170, and you
need to change the interrupt from the controller from IRQ 14 to for
example IRQ 15, either by moving a jumper, if that is supported, or by
soldering.  Here is the layout of that part of the bus:

Thank you everybody that helped me with this!
