Re: Hello

scsi controllers can handle up to 15 devices on a scsi chain


the ID is set at pins on the scsi drive

0-6 ID 7 is reserved for the controller then 8-15

the termination block is usually at the end of the cable

how many IDE connnectors does your motherboard have ????

if you were to get a controller card to add more drives; I would sugest a Sata controller card >>>> Sata drives are much cheaper than SCSI drives

Scsi is still the fastest and uses the CPU the least; however Sata has considerably closed the gap.
