The "internal" controller is an embedded one on the motherboard. I'm calling it "internal" because it's being used to control the hard disks which are inside the box. The "external" controller is a normal, PCI card. I'm calling it "external" here because it it being used to drive a disk array which is in a different box. I don't have any option to change the settings of the motherboard; I can indeed disable the embedded controller, but that means I'll need to go and buy another controller. Just once I'd love something important to also be easy. :) On Mon, 2003-03-10 at 15:59, Scott Taylor wrote: > Internal/External SCSI controllers?
