No you've added a separate SCSI bus, so Device ID management (and  
termination) pertains to that card only, except for truly horribly  
broken things like Umax'es old SCSI scanner driver, which did not even  
look at the bus ID, only the Device ID, so that when I installed my  
scanner at ID 2 on the external bus (bus1) of my old 7600, I could no  
longer use ID 2 on the internal (bus0) or the scanner driver would barf.

Truly a dumkopff move.
