I do however have a question if anyone has continued to read this
far....

Q: What is the fastest, most supported PCI SCSI card that I could
use with Linux?

I believe the BusLogic MultiMaster host adapters (BT-946C Narrow, BT-956C Wide,
BT-948 Narrow Ultra) running the latest driver qualify. BusLogic as a company
is also being very supportive of the Linux community, and I have an excellent
working relationship with their technical staff.

Q: Does LINUX support use of more than one of that card per system?

As many as you have PCI slots, and all even sharing the same IRQ. My main
system has two BT-956C and two BT-946C cards, and as a beta site for BusLogic's
new UltraSCSI cards I've worked with up to four of them running full blast.
