No more than with any other single-channel adapter. If you want *true*
simultaneous transfers, you need more then one adapter, or more then
one channel on the adapter, like the Adaptech 3xxx series of "server"

SCSI is *not* magic. There are many technical 
reasons why it's occasionally nessicary to 
sacrifice a small goat to your SCSI chain.
