Wrong. They work only with hard drives.

You can use up to 4 HDs on the most basic ones, 2 primary and 2
secondary, essentially the same as motherboard controllers, except that
the motherboard BIOS treats the controller as if it were a SCSI
controller. By setting your motherboard BIOS to boot from SCSI you
should be able to boot from a device on it even if you use your
motherboard controller for HD(s) as well. Otherwise, they play second
fiddle. Most if not all of them are handled by the DaniS506.ADD driver.
