I really cannot imagine needing more than seven SCSI devices... CD-ROM, M.O., Printer, Scanner... This still leaves three for hard drives (and I doubt many people are running SCSI printers). What else is there? Perhaps I just don't have enough toys! :-)
Let's see, CD-ROM, CDRW, DVD (unlikely because I don't think there's an MPEG2 decoder for the NuBus PM), MO, scanner, two DAT DDS2 drives (because I'm cheap, but big hard drives have outgrown DDS2 tapes), plus hard drives, and printer if one has one of the old GCC (?) ones or that single Apple model.
I do like using a separate CD-ROM and CDRW. And I already have DAT DDS2 but hard drives have outgrown the 8 GB compressed capacity, so I pretty much need at least two on the chain, so that Retrospect can automatically continue on the second one. I've never had a SCSI printer.
But in practice the hard drives would be on the JackHammer...
In practice you're probably right, but I asked more out of curiosity that any practical reason. It was reading that section of the Developer Notes for the 900 that made me think, "What happens when...".
