- Thanks Max. I also have a PC-powered Bernouilli, which is run from its
- own SCSI adapter (not daisy-chainable). It has provided no conflicts with
- my CD-ROM or Trantor adapter. Are you suggesting that I might be able to
- interface my CD-ROM and PAS16 via the PAS16 SCSI connection without needing
- the Trantor adapter at all? This would amaze me but delight me.
