Hi,
I have here 2 scsi cards (1 Ultrastor 24FA Eisa ID 7 and 1 Buslogic BT445S
VLB Id 6)
On the Ultrastor are 4 hard disks (1 Ibm, 2 HP + 1 Syquest 270) and on the
Buslogic are 1 HP DAT and 1 NEC 3Xi CDROM.
I have also 2 IDE disks
I had to enable the Buslogic in the kernel since it is not enable by
default. And all is working very well,
I have Slackware 1.3.9
I think you can have several cards as long as they don't have the same ID.
With Wide-SCSI(?) I think it is possible to have more than 7 IDs.
Hope this help,
