What is the maximum number of devices supported by a SCSI-3 configuration?
 
depends on the scsi card/controller most newer ones support 16 devices per channel - usually with the card being one of the devices on the chain (usually id#7) so 15
older cards or lower controlers at least 8 (again card being one of them)

some raid and top end cards may have more than one channel (2, 3, whatever) so say a nice mylex 2 channel raid card - 30 drives....... etc.
 
i guess i want specific enough, the original question pertained to a single channel. I just found out. What i was looking for was is.....on an 8 bit bus its 8 devices, and on a 16 bit bus its 16 devices
 
out of curosity how many LUN's are available on that mylex 2 channel raid card with 30 drives and how many are actually usable for drives?

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
