\_ I don't understand what you mean by the 1-1 pairing bit. At the moment,
\_ there's only one disk on the SCSI bus. It's the IDE drives which are

SCSI is designed for
1 adapter -> N devices
IDE is happier when
1 adapter -> 1 device
I bet if you do ide_adapter -> 4 devs and scsi_adapter -> 4 devs,
you'll see a significant favor in scsi.
