wrong assuption in a number of known cases/users (including myself).

this is because I'm using my "other" controller for all external
and part_time_only devices, even disks, if this is not very time critical.

this way I can hot swap devices and verything and don't risk my
internal main scsi bus with system disks when connecting a new,
possibly broken device...
