- Um, am I reading this right ... you want os connect two controllers onto
- the same SCSI bus?
-
- Theoretically, it's possible (I've done it), but the two controllers will
- not normally cooperate so you end up with a lot of (non-repeatable)
- checksum errors on any drive in the system.
-
- Note, to make this work the A3000 has to have the SCSI ID of its host
- adapter changed. Programs, like SCSIPrefs, exist to do this.
-
- If you could make the 3000 and the GVP play nice together, it would work,
- but I don't know of any software or drivers that would make this possible
- (anyone with news on how to do this, with the 3000 native controller, I
- am VERY interested).
