Alan, I had two SCSI drives in my S900 along with a Western Digital Special Edition 120 gig 7200 RPM drive connected to my Sonnet controller. Having those slow SCSI drives in there really slowed the system down. Once I removed them from the S900, it made a huge difference. The only SCSI device I have connected to my S900 now is the 8x SCSI CDROM drive that shipped with it.
To your other question, yes, I was talking about live capture of audio and video. Lastly, as far as I know, ATA devices don't have addresses under Mac OS X. My WDSE HD is set as master, and another device would be set to slave if it shared the controller's main bus with the HD. You could have two master devices if you used both buses on the ATA card.
