Stacking with 3500yl and 2520

[Turbob]

Hi,

I need a few extra ports and would like to purchase a new 2520 to go with my current 3500yl. I can't seem to find any information which lists stacking compatibility for these 2 switches.

So can anyone confirm whether it's possible to stack these switches, I am looking to manage them from a single IP on the management vlan, connected via a single copper link and they will have multiple vlans.

Thanks
