Hi
   I have a 286 with a "traditional" hard/floppy controller, 40 meg Seagate
and 2 floppies.  I need more disk storage and am looking at Seagate's 80
Meg SCSI drive and host adapter.  My questions are:
  1) Will this conflict with my existing controller and drives, i.e. will
     I have to take the old controller and hard drive out, and
  2) the add I saw for the host adapter says it will control 1 hard disk.
     In the future, if I want to add a second SCSI drive, can it by "daisy
     chained" on?
E-mail or net response would be apreciated.  Thanks 1 Meg!
