Re: 2 SCSI Controllers

[Izaak Bozof <izaak_bozof ins com>]

I believe that you can specify the memory location and irq as well.  I
don't have a machine in front of me, but that is what was required for my
system to recognise the two adapters. 

Also, I think the 174x and 274x adapters support 'standard' and 'enhanced'
mode.  The enhanced mode is an EISA resource sharing invention, and I seem
to remember that EISA on Linux does not support this.  Check your ECU that
your controllers are set up in standard mode.
