Quote from: ral-clan;682939
- Although I know a lot about early 1990s Amiga SCSI, I know next to nothing about SCSI RAID.  I just want to use this card as "normal" SCSI controller card (I don't want to set up an array).  I just want to control one hard drive - and perhaps occassionally a SCSI scanner that I used to use on my Amiga.  Is it possible for a SCSI RAID controller to function as a "normal" SCSI hard drive controller?
Yes. It would be quite rare to have a SCSI controller that only supported RAID. The description for this card says:

"Drives can be supported in array or non-array configurations"

As for the confusing quote, the whole sentence is:
"high-performance choice for systems that already have embedded SCSI or an installed add-in host adapter for low speed devices."
Meaning that the point of getting this adapter was to get faster controller than you had before.
