Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Adding a second SCSI adapter

I am contemplating adding a second SCSI adapter to handle an HP5
scanner. This is due to the fact that the adapter that came with the
scanner is ISA and my current motherboard has no ISA slots. I got some
advice from HP Tech Support that I should "dumb down" the SCSI interface
by removing parity checking, etc. to make the HP5 work. Currently, it
hangs my system if I try to boot with the HP5 attached to my main SCSI
adapter. My system is all SCSI: LSI Logic SYM21002 dual channel with
Plextor CDROM & CDRW and a tape on channel A and 4 drives on channel B.
It boots from B.

I want to add a TekRam DC-315/U SCSI adapter that I have on hand to
handle the scanner to keep it seperate from the rest of the system. It
seems that the last time I tried this, it somehow trashed my system, so
I'm a bit leery of doing this.

Any wisdom as to whether one can safely add a second, different SCSI
adapter?

Thanks!
