Mike, thanx a lot for your info. That is exactly what I wanted to do – with the difference, that my PC is not a stand-alone, but a A2386SX card of C= – and I am not running UNIX. I have at the moment GVP SCSI controller on the AMIGA, harddisk, SyQuest drive, and CDROM drive, and I wondered installing an SCSI controller on the PC side with a harddisk instead of the now installed ATBus harddisk. That would use 6 IDs, 2 for the controllers plus 4 for the devices. It appears from your configuration that the controllers need not necessarily have the highest or the lowest IDs, right? When I read your comment one probably could build some kind of a network just with the SCSI chain, including a third PC (this time stand-alone), wouldn't you think that?
