If you have the available slots, you can run multiple adapter cards as long as there are open or non -conflicting elements like IRQs and DMAs; but why do so when a card like an Adaptec 2940U will allow up to 7 devices off it and the newer cards up to 15 devices. There is only two reasons that I can think of. One is that the device requires a proprietary card to work. The second, as in my case, is that you have two scanners on the same adapter card but both are not available for operation simultaneously because one hogs the card preventing the second from being found. To have both available simultaneously, you need to set each up on a separate adapter card. However, if you do not mind refreshing the device locator whenever you change scanners, one card will work for both if they are not available at the same time. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Mr645@aol.com> To: <epson-inkjet@leben.com> Sent: Sunday, November 28, 1999 12:07 AM Subject: Re: 2 SCSI boards on mobo? > I am not familiar with the brands your dealing with but I have no problems > running 3 different SCSI busses on my machine, > > There is a SCSI bus on the motherboard, plus an Adaptec 2930 card in one PCI > slot, and an ATTO PCS wide SCSI card in another slot. > > > Jon > - > Turn off HTML mail features.
