   Only when I notice an extra device number appearing during Boot do I   
   get concerned.   
      
   Seeing 0 for the Drive and 7 for the Adapter is the normal way I see   
   when I'm booting the XP pc.   
      
   I'm sure if I daisy chained another SCSI device and gave it #1-#6 I   
   would see it when the adapter started up.   
      
   I haven't added any other devices and still don't know why sometimes   
   that extra slot is taken on start up.   
      
   After sending this .REP packet to the BBS I will use a search engine to   
   see if the maker of my SCSI Card has a web site where I could browse on   
   their pages.
