Subject: knowledge needed!

I have been reading this newsgroup for a couple of weeks now,
and I am surprised at the level of knowledge shown here! I
have acquired 2 CP/M systems, and I now currently use a Xerox
820-II system, with 2 8" floppy drives. Here's my question,
and please everyone, keep the answers SIMPLE, as I have NO
previous computer experience (which is why people gave me the
cp/m systems, I believe) and I also don't seem to be very
smart about learning computers, either. Anyway, I also have
2 other, functional, 8" floppy drives in a metal tray, which
I would like to have hooked up to the currently functioning
cpu, so that I have a 4-drive system, AND so that the system
know that it has 4 drives accessible (c&d drives?) BTW, I
also have another cpu for the xerox that I can put the working
floppy drives in, if necessary. I have no idea if this is 
possible, but it sems to me logical that one should be able to
have a functional 4-drive system that knows itself, at least
from what I've been reading here recently. Any (simple) ideas?
Help!
