This information is wrong. The first one complies to the scsi2 standard, and allows you to daisy chain upto 7 devices. I'm currently running 3 devices of this card. A CD-Rom, a Zip drive, and an external SCSI2 hard disk. This card is automatically recognised by Linux kernels 2.*.*, and it works reaaly well under linux.
