I once bought an HP Netserver drive for use in a Sun workstation.

that this
crazy drive actually responded to EVERY SCSI ID, regardless of jumper
setting, cabling, etc. I finally pulled out the docs that came
with the
drive and apparently, it was made to do this, and was intended for
some
sort of single ended arrangement.
I was more thinking about a external ID switch box - like the ones
on the back of drive cases connected upside-down. Creates interesting
combinations. But Michael explicitely said "Nay".
