I use an Adaptec 2940U as well as SCSI emulation to drive a PD-CD. To the system, it looks like I have 2 SCSI interfaces, each with their own devices. $ cat /proc/scsi/scsi Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: COMPAQPC Model: ST34371N Rev: 0472 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00 Vendor: SEAGATE Model: ST31230N Rev: 0594 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 06 Lun: 00 Vendor: IOMEGA Model: ZIP 100 Rev: D.09 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: COMPAQ Model: PD-1 LF-1195C Rev: A110 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 01 Vendor: COMPAQ Model: PD-1 LF-1195C Rev: A110 Type: Optical Device ANSI SCSI revision: 02 In my case, the restriction is not putting SCSI and SCSI emulation together, but putting ATAPI CDROM and SCSI emulation CDROM together. The docs say that if I compile both into the kernel, the ATAPI will win out over SCSI emulation and will detect the hardware. Haven't tried. I presume if I put a second CDROM in there, that it will also be detected by SCSI emulation, but I dunno. -- Peter Galbraith, research scientist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Maurice Lamontagne Institute, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada P.O.
