I didn't look at the headers close enough the first time. This question
and answer is really much more appropriate for linux-scsi than linuxisp.

Only problem is figuring out which one the system will try to boot from,
and then trying to change it if you don't like the one it chose.
I've got 1 box with 2 NCR-810's and another with 1 NCR-810 and 1 BT-946.
The later system boots from the 810, and I've not tried changing it to the
946.
Also, if you're tight on IRQ's, you might be able to share. The box with
2 810's has them sharing IRQ 11.
How does the system decide which to boot from?
