you can have up to two adaptecs.
you can have up to four *disk* drives on each of them.
you can have up to three other (i.e. tape) devices on each of them.

that means you can connect eight lovely 2.5GB drives for a total of 20GB :-)
(unformatted). now if i could only afford one of these suckers for my
