        <<Win98 and all relevant win98 apps (office,netscape,valuable system
programs) are all kept on the Seagate SCSI (d). E,F,G,H,I drives are on the
ADAPTEC 2940 (good card -> but only allows 6 addresses +1 for the
controller).

        When you build a large machine and plan to expand the hell out of it,
Western Digital has a great card -> the WD7000  allows up to 21 chained
devices but takes additional overhead drivers at bootup.>>


This isn't related to who makes the SCSI adapter. A SCSI bus is limited to
either 7 device IDs plus the adapter (for an 8-bit bus) or 15 device IDs plus
the adapter (for a 16-bit bus). All of the major manufacturers make
multi-channel adapters.
