disks per FC controller can you get, I wonder?

256, if I remember right.

However, whether it's a good idea to connect that many disks to the same loop remains to be a question of "good idea/bad idea".

NetApp et al reccommend you don't connect more than 28 disks (two shelves) to a 1Gbps FC loop, 48 to a 2Gbps loop, and 96 to a 4Gbps loop. Which makes sense, as you can easily saturate the bus with that many devices.
