The AHA1540B Bios supports a single location for I/O, i.e. 330H.
To use a second Controler, you have to get a changed BIOS from
Adaptec (or from your dealer).
Than you have to activate bouth cards with Bios on differend addresses.
(SORRY, BUT THIS IS NOT TESTED!)
BUT:
Why do you need a second controler, you have only THREE devices?
In my opinion, you simly have to get a new cable.(?)
I hope this could help.
