Anyone tried it or know if or if can not be done ?

The DS20 I have has split busses, each going
to KZPBA's (Qlogic ISP 1040B's).

The CDROM is on its own controller.

Do you mean adding 146GB u320 drives to a DS20? There's no problem
doing that as long as your SRM firmware is modern and the KZPBAs are
healthy. I've run a 300GB drive in one with no issues.

I didn't think there would be, but one never knows, esp with the
'interesting'
design the BA35x,et.al. have SRM etc upgraded to the 7.1 CD.

Thanks ..
