SCSI has always been smarter than IDE, and does not suffer many of the 
limitations of IDE. I don't think it is possible for the o/s and BIOS to 
disagree on the LBA mode of a SCSI disk, but I could be wrong there 
might be some special circumstance (like a defective offboard controller 
driver). The only time I've seen this is on IDE with older motherboards.
