On a modern SCSI card, the id of the adapter can be set arbitrarily. 
And UW can support up to 15 not just 7.  Even an PCMCIA adapter should
have the same functionality.  The only problem will be daisy chaining
the devices and terminating them correctly.  That usually the biggest
problem when troubleshooting an external chain.
