What is the maximum number of devices that can be connected to a typical SCSI 1 controller card?
7
Can you use an ultra 320 SCSI drive with a ultra 160 SCSI controller?

What scsi id should be assigned to a scsi-2 adapter card in a computer?
The host adapter is assigned SCSI ID 7, which has the highest priority over all other devices.
Why use a scsi controller?
A SCSI controller (pronounced 'Skuzee') - is used to enable a computer to 'talk' to peripheral devices - such as printers, flash drives, hard-disks etc.
If a motherboard does not have an embedded SCSI controller the gateway from the SCSI bus to the system bus is the a card inserted into an expansion slot on the motherboard?
Host Adapter
What happens if two devices have the same scsi id assigned?

What is a SCSI ID number?
SCSI - Small Computer System InterfaceSCSI is an industry standard system interface, which allows multiple peripheral devices to be installed on the system. The number of devices that can be installed depends on the type of SCSI Host adapter that you have installed in your system. Most SCSI systems have an older "Narrow" 8-bit SCSI host adapter, which have 8-bit data paths and allow for up to 7 devices to be installed on the same channel. Newer "Wide" Host adapters have 16-bit wide data paths and provide support for up to 15 devices. A SCSI ID is a unique identifier assigned to each SCSI device on the bus. It determines the SCSI device's priority. There are 16 IDs, ranging from 0 to 15. The order of the priorities is a bit unusual. From highest priority to lowest they are: 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 15, 14, 13, 12 ,11, 10, 9, 8. ID 7 is almost always reserved for the SCSI Host Adapter. The other IDs are free to be assigned as desired, although your computer may have assigned them automatically.Never assign the same ID to more than one device.
What might happen if a SCSI bus is not properly terminated?
Performance may suffer; the initiator (SCSI controller) may not see the SCSI targets (i.e, disks) ... or they may disappear at some really bad time; or performance might be great but you will get a lot of errors and data corruption ; The correct answer depends on a lot of variables including cable length; whether or not the controller and/or any of the disks are terminated; type of SCSI you use; quality of SCSI cabling; and SCSI device physical topology. Your computer may not even boot or spin up the whatever is connected to the SCSI controller. Bottom line, SCSI absolutely must be terminated properly. If it isn't, bad things may happen at unpredictable times.
How many devices can be daisy chained on a single standard SCSI controller?
Most modern SCSI buses support a total of 16 devices, while older SCSI implementations usually support only eight devices.
What is a SCSI host adaptor?
A SCSI host adapter is a device used to connect one or more other SCSI devices to a computer bus. It is commonly called a SCSIcontroller, which is not strictly correct as any component understanding the SCSI protocol can be called a controller. It connects to the PCI Express.
