I have an ST296N SCSI disk with an ST01 controller card, and my question
is:  Can I daisy-chain more disks, and if so, how many?  I understand
that one of the advantages of the SCSI interface, aside from intelligent
device use, is the ability to daisy-chain several together while only
using one I/O slot.  I know that on a Mac you can have up to 7.  Is this
true for the ST01?  Do I need to specify which device it will be when
ordering it (i.e. does it need a particular cable)?  Can I boot off of
any drive?

Inquiring minds want to know.
