	Probably not.  For some reason, there's one SCSI
connector on board for one of the NCR53C810's (seemingly),
because the CD-ROM shows up on hose1 on a(n) NCR53C810 and it's
plugged directly into this slot.  I could remove the NCR/DECchip
combo card entirely, but then I wouldn't have any ethernet
connection!

	Even when that card was plugged into hose0, the CD-ROM
still showed up on a(n) NCR53C810 on hose1!?  Is it standard to
have one controller built on to the motherboard of an AS1200?

	Unfortunately, I've got a Digital VT220 plugged into it,
not another machine.  I can probably scavenge up something to
plug into it (I'm sure we have a laptop or something around here
to do that).

	I can understand that.  I'll be more than happy to
provide it at this point if you think it will help.  But like I
said, with that one NCR53C810 showing up on hose1 regardless of
what I do, I'm not sure I can move anything onto hose0 and still
have things boot.

	I guess I can pull every card in the machine and give you
a 'show device' or 'show conf' from SRM.  Would that help?
