It also doesn't say that they can be used at the same time. This isn't really new. We've seen SCSI controllers where you can only use two of three conntectors at the same time. If you really have such a special case where you need that many disks use an add on card as already suggested - with an adapter you can even have two PCI slots. > > Come on, give your Soekris box a break!
