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.
Me too... but my boss paid, not me. And those scsi cards only worked for one "thing", very often you could not plug a disk or another scanner to the card. Time changes! I'm grateful for usb over this one, at least ;-)
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.
agreed.
It appears to be a software limit. And very difficult to overcome :-( - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
