- Sorry, the answer is no. The A590 has SCSI-device address 7
- (hardcoded), and couldn't be changed, so that's one of the reasons.

-
- Nope. The A590 wouldn't startup (power to the drive is switched by
- the A500 through the bus).
-
- And why do you want to know this anyway (if i may ask)? Want to
- build somesort of a 'network', or what...
