I just installed a third SCSI drive (Maxtor 8760S) to a chain containing
a CDC Wren IV, a Toshiba MK-156FB, and an Archive Viper 2150S tape.  The
host adapter is an Adaptec 1542b.

When I booted the machien, the controller found drives 0 and 1, and as
usual assigned them to drives "C" and "D".  Immediately after that, it
displayed the message "Your PC is now Stoned!"  This message only appeared
when booting DOS from a floppy.  I guess this must be Adaptec's way of saying
I need a special driver in order to access more than 2 scsi drives from
DOS.

Unfortunately, ESIX won't boot either.  hmmm...  Last time I added a 
drive, the boot drive got wiped and I had to re-install.  grrr.  

Isn't SCSI Fun!
