It is okay to use 2 SCSI cards (they act independently).  I had no option 
but to use two because of the newness of my 1.08gb hard drive -- it uses 
the SCSI-2 technology that requires the host adapter to provide an ID 
number.  The RamFAST card does not do this.  However, the Apple Rev C 
card does (good 'ole Apple).  At the time, I purchased the best SCSI 
controller and hard drive that I could get my hands on, not knowing that 
they would be incompatible.  Check out the thread on Quantum Fireball and 
Empire drives that have the same problem.  Since I forked out the bucks 
for the best RamFAST card, I figured it only made sense to utilize it's 
speed, so I put my Zip drive on it.
