Mike,
I haven't done it, but you need two things as I see it, based on
running two copies of MixW, HRD, or N4PY talking to two different
transceivers. You need to designate two separate ways to talk to the
hardware, and the only way I know of to do this is to use two sound
cards and the parallel port on one and the USB -> parallel adapter on
the other. You need separate data bases, and running from two
different directories is a way to do this.

Mike,
There is no technical reason that the SDR-1000 hardware cannot be used
alongside another SDR-1000. The big question is if the PowerSDR can
handle multiple instances running simultaneously. I know at one point
this was possible as I used to do side-by-side comparisons in this
fashion. However, I have not done a test like this lately.
As long as you have separate soundcards and control interfaces (perhaps
1 parallel port and one USB adapter), I don't know why it wouldn't work.
When I get a chance, I'll give this a try in the lab and let you know
what I find.
