Jeff,

I found that changing the IRQ, base address, or bios address from default would 
prevent the system from booting unless you modified something in the bios and 
burnt a custom e-prom to reflect this.  Got this info from the Adaptec site a 
long time ago when I was playing with Novell & duplexing.  I was able to 
configure the 2nd (not bootable) controller so there wasnt a conflict, then use 
it in big red.
