But... aren't channels the devices connected to the same cable (bus)? Ugh, just looked it up in the wikipedia and there is no mention of what "channels" are.
as usual, this came to mind after posting. The moment of greatest revelation :^) This is *probably* correct, your understanding. It has been some time since I spent much time/money on scsi. As I recall it was when scanning required scsi or a proprietary card, I had an HP 4c and paid ~us$800 for a discounted item.
I can see a "reasonable reason" to limit devices to 8 or 16 (limit the number of cables), but not for the number of partitions inside a device. For small disks, maybe, but with the size of disks nowdays, 16 partitions is absurd.
