Re: Can I define SCSI device order?

[James Goodwin <j5goodwin@triton.net>]

Doesn't your Adaptec Card have both internal and external connections? 
 If so, you can just plug your HD's onto the Internal connection and the 
RAID to the port and make sure your termination is at the END's of the 
chain (not the card).  You'll also need to make sure the SCSI ID's of 
the drives are different (I don't remember which one needs to be higher).
