I did not notice any ID jumpers on the backplane.  It looked all hard
wired.  There were several support chips, plus the two power/bus
connectors, plus the drive sca plugs.

Is there a way to set the ID's on the backplane to be 0 and 1?

If so, that would get around the hardwiring the kernel to the default
ID's of 3 and 1.

Thanks
