Can you have the same ID numbers on different SCSI Buses? I have SCSI O CDROM ID 3, ZIP ID 5, HD ID 6. And SCSI1 CD burner ID 4.
If I add a HD to SCSI 1, can I make it ID 6 as well? I assume that in SCSI 0 the HD is terminated since it is ID 6. Don't know for sure.
In theory, yes. The *device* will be happy. The driver and/or software may not. The SCSI standard explicitly says that device id's need to be unique on each bus. Termination is also separate for each bus.
For HDD's no problem. I've done this many times.
However, Umax scanners, for example, their VistaScan software is too stupid to comprehend that there might be different SCSI busses. I had mys scanner on bus 1 as ID 2 and a drive on bus 0 as ID 2 and even though every other utility I had, such as SCSIProbe could readily see the scanner, Vista Scan insisted that there was no scanner. Until I changed the scanner to an id that wasn't used on both busses, I was stuck.
Your burning problems are likely due to other aspects of SCSI VooDoo, or not have anything to do at all with SCSI.
Limewire is a rather crashy piece of trash.
