No, the "bus" I referred to was the SCSI or IDE bus. And IDE bus supports two devices (called master and slave) while a SCSI bus supports many more devices. It has nothing to do with PCI ID's.

Um, from your previous message, it seems that host numbering doesn't change depending on BIOS settings.
So what exactly is happening? And what is the problem? I realise you may find the naming a little confusing, but is there an actual problem?
