Storage Works question

We have an AS4000 in which we want to add more disks to. Currently we
have 2 Storage Works BA36R-RA Shelfs (the manual for them actually
says 'BA356-S Series'). These are each connected to seperate KZPDA-AA
PCI SCSI Adaptor boards. I would like to simply get another Storage
Works shelf and daisy chain it off one of the current chains. I guess
I need to know if this is even possible. The card is a Fast Wide card
so it should allow for 16 devices, right? I will put all the wide devices
on the chain with 16 devices and all the older SCSI devices on the chain
with 8 devices.. (BTW - I know about the total devices = number possible
- one for the scsi controller...)

Do I need to buy the split bus version of a Storage Works shelf? Do
I need to buy anything else?

Thanks!

-Dan
