You're suggesting the lowest IO or BIOS address controls?  
Lower IO port would agree with IDE where the IO port is lower than the SCSI 
port in most cases.
BIOS address wouldn't work for IDE which don't use a BIOS address.
You probably are correct for BIOS addresses determining which SCSI controller 
drive 0 is booted from.
