(also call it aha1) you may have as many as the hardware allows. you may also mix and match adapter cards (e.g. have one aha1542 and one ultrastore 14f) disks are numbered in the order they are found.. (slightly different under NetBSD) though there is a method to allow devices to be tied down to a particular spot on a particular scsi bus. julian
