7 has the highest priority, usually the HA card. I'm not sure what
the practical implications are, depends on how busy the bus gets, but
I'd have thought it wouldn't be massive.
The guidelines normally tell you to put your HD's on 0 and 1 then CD's
scanners and tapes on the higher numbers. That seems the wrong way
round to me ( apart from booting from id0 ). Anyone got any thoughts
on this?
You could try comp.periphs.scsi. They will know.
