The A board did not take into account this scenario.  The B board should
work fine in this environment.  Although, if this is the CP3100, there
may be other problems.  I have had many reports about the CP3100 not
coexisting with other devices very well, causing hangups on the SCSI
bus.
One thing to be aware of,...you must change the ID of one of the adapters.
By default they are set to 7.  Should set one of them to 6.
