Thanks for the thread to get on.  Been debating SCSI on my DTK-386-20 for some
while.  DOS 3.3 (yeah 32MB).  Presently have TWO RLL 60MB HDs and one each 1.2
and 1.44 FD, four (4) drives, 2HD+2FD.

The questions: 
 - CAN I ADD SCSI disk beyond my 2+2 without doing the IRQ war ?
  -- ( I need to save an IRQ for being a network [TOPS] server, later. )
 - If so, WHAT impact will there be on my existing disk controller ?
 - What grief will I have utilizing SCSI H:, I:, J:, K:, L:, ... drives and
    exporting them over a network, like TOPS ?
