I think scsi-1 supports 7 per card, and scsi-2 supports 14,
so you can have 21-42 depending on your card mix.  Perhaps
it is the scsi-3 that supports 14.  Anyhow, this info ranges
it for you.  I could say more if I RTFM. ;>)  Also, at least
on the Mac, one scsi id is devoted to the connection  of one
scsi card to the computer.  So I guess that makes three
cards with either 6 or 13 usable scsi ids for disks per
card.  I think you have more than enough.
