Kelly, The Adaptec SCSI manual says in the preface "AHA 1510/1520/1522 – Non bus master host adapters for PCs with an AT (ISA) bus. Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 SCSI-2 also resides in this category." Further down the same page "AIC 6260/6360 – SCSI protocol chips. Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 SCSI-2 uses the AIC-6360 controller chip." On my sytem when I run the SCSI bus ID program Adaptec provides it indicates that the controller is an AHA 1520, this is in the group of controllers that the manual warns against using the /h option to reset the host ID ( /h is identified as a group 1 option and the manual says never use group 1 options with AHA 1520/1522 controllers – page D-19. The information provided seems to conflict, I have no idea if doing this in fact will cause any real problems, I simply noted that there is a warning from the Adaptec people against doing this. Some folks have said they have done it anyway and it seems to work, others have reported errors when they tried this so I guess anyone with a need to try proceeds at their own risk. Thanks for all the responses. Gary
