Others have been discussing the potential speed of such an
arrangement. I'm more concerned about SCSI bus addressing being
a problem. Perhaps the statement above means that each card can
have a distinct ID on the bus. My experience with SCSI is
pretty much limited to systems where the host computer is
hardwired as device 0. If these cards are like that, they'll
likely be pretty confused about who's who.
