Yes, both devices are plugged into the narrow bus, and auto termination is configured on the controller, and the devices are in the same order as before (see below). This used to work fine on my BusLogic BT-948 controller [which I had to stop using on my new motherboard (because the ABIT AF7 motherboard won't finish POST with the BusLogic BT-948 controller plugged into a PCI slot.....)] -- Kevin J.
