Euhh, any two SCSI devices with the same ID on the same controller will
cause problems.

A really cool thing is that since a SCSI controller is just another SCSI
device that sends different commands, you could have two controllers in
separate computers sharing access to one hard drive (as long as the drive
was only mounted on one computer at a time).
