I am not a hardware expert but I believe in theory this should be possible. You would also have to make a 2nd.scsi.device which looks at the new address range. And you won't be able to boot from the TF IDE any more unless you hack a Kickstart ROM which contains both scsi.device drivers.

Could you use the 2nd.scsi.device from A4000T rom?

No. The name "scsi.device" does say nothing about its function. The A4000T ROM has a scsi.device for IDE and another one for SCSI. There are many more expansions which use the name scsi.device for their drivers, but they are all for different hardwares. It is a convention that drivers which find the name scsi.device already in use rename themselves to 2nd.scsi.device, 3rd.scsi.device and so on. The same happens in the A4000T. If there are no IDE devices, the SCSI driver is called scsi.device. If there are no SCSI devices, the IDE driver is scsi.device. If both are present, IDE is scsi.device and SCSI is 2nd.scsi.device.

So just renaming would not work, as you would still need the driver to point to another address, else it would still conflict I'm guessing.
