Hint 1:	(According to my documentation on a slightly different version)
	Systems with an ESDI controller can't add another controller.

Hint 2:	We have a purely pre-release system "running" with 1077 Meg(!)
	of HD space on one SCSI controller.  (We have the potential --
	today -- to run with over 2 Gig on one SCSI controller and we
	can still add a second!)
