Yes.  I have mine set up this way on my ASUS board.

Couldn't comment on this - I haven't had any problems like this and I
have mixed SCSI-I and SCSI-II devices (3 Seagate Hawk 1GB, 1 NEC CD-ROM
changer and SCSI-I CDROM drive).  I had two HP SCSI-I disks on the
second channel as well, but I put them on another system.
