Even if there is no drive 0 in the working chain of drives attached to
the ASCI port?  ie, my ICD drives, with ASCI to SCSI adapter and drives
with SCSI id's 2 and 4?  (I havn't the foggiest what ASCI id they (it?)
would have, from previous disclosures, I understand I can have an ASCI
id 0-7 for 8 different host adapters, and 0-7 SCSI id's on each?)
naw... I thought the host adapter was "transparent" and the SCSI id's on
the ASCI attached drives became the ASCI id.  

Conjecture: My two drives (SCSI id's 2,4 on an ICD host) would show up
as ASCI id's 2,4 and work just fine (With ICD's software) attached to a
TT.

(still wondering IF there's a problem with NOT having an SCSI ID 0 on a
chain of host adapter equipped drives attached to an ASCI port on a TT)
