Your scenario should work fine.  Drive letters are determined in this
order:
Primary IDE Channel Master Disk Active Partition = C
Next Active Partition existing on another drive......
All logical drives on primary channel master disk
Any other logical drives defined on other disks

If you make sure to remove active partitions from Secondary channel or
slave drives, the drive letter assignment stay pretty intuitive, with all
the drives partitioned on a particular disk being assigned contiguously.

On new drives, remember to only create extended partitions on drives that
will not be used to boot a system.

I've got an old 486 desktop running OS/2 and Win3.1 stuff. It has 2
hard drives .........

I'd first like to re-partition, consolidate non-OS/2 data on
the Connor 340, and use the 170 mb HD on another system.

Might it be practical to:
  1.) Run FDISK, re-partition boot mngr, E:, F:, G:.
  2.) Format fat16.
  3.) Re-boot. Re-partitioned space will hopefully be E:
  4.) Xcopy D: E:
  5.) Remove Connor 170
  6.) Re-boot. Re-partitioned space will hopefully be D:
