    Mine did. Best way to tell is to put them in and see.
    Mine were an Apple Rev.C and a RamFast Rev.D.
    I'm not sure about 2 of the exact same card though,
    as they might fight over program control being their
    roms are the same. ;-)

    That shouldn't be a problem, since they map into different slot pages.

    Not knowing anything about Apple II SCSI, why would you want more than one
    SCSI card??

    Don't Apple II SCSI cards support 7 devices per card?? Or is it just one??

    Or is it something like you can only access 1 device per card at a time??

    Just wondering.. My //e has no SCSI, tho I have considered it from time to time...

    There is very little practical use for more than one SCSI card on an
    Apple II. Although it is true that Apple II controllers only use one
    device on the "chain" at a time, the Apple II bandwidth they require
    pretty well eliminates any concurrency from using more than one
    card.

    I was mostly curious. I don't have a practical need for more than 7
    devices.

    Thank you,
