  That's not an issue in this case.  SCSI target numbers must be unique
on each SCSI bus, but provided the controllers' SCSI connectors aren't
attached to each other, you have two individual busses and so should be
fine.

  The only problem *might* be if the device driver is too stupid to handle
this, but I can't remember whether the cards in question use the same
software and/or how smart it is.  But I doubt this will cause problems.
