The C500 has only one controller. Then again it has an IDE bus and was designed to be a cheap system, the SCSI is there for compatibility.
The c series had an IDE port for only one device. Umax chintzed out so much that the IDE controller (normally master/slave--2 devices on one channel) was one device on one channel. Thus, the SCSI wasn't just there for compatibility but that was for the expansion. The CD drive was SCSI and normally set to 3. My old C box had a 40 GB IDE drive and all I did was set the drive jumper to 'master' and plugged it in. Apple Drive Setup saw it immediately and I partitioned it and away we went.
