And we're strictly talking about 5-1/4" drives. 3-1/2" drives are another story altogether.

I'm not talking about using them both on the same card... even with my limited ][ knowledge I know not to do that.

You can't use 3-1/2" drives on either of those cards, period.

EDIT- As for cabling (IIe w/Super Serial II) Would I need the male DB-25 - female 9-pin DE9 Null Modem or Straight Through? To use the USB, it appears I need the Null, but what is the difference?

You only need a straight through if you have a SSC, since it can play both DTE and DCE roles. Even with a USB cable in the middle.
