It most definitely has multiple, the question only how the disks are
wired. The easiest way to figure that out is too look at the output
of "dmesg". Here is an example from my ULTRA60:

esiop0 at pci0 dev 3 function 0: Symbios Logic 53c875 (ultra-wide scsi)
esiop0: using on-board RAM
esiop0: interrupting at ivec 1820
scsibus0 at esiop0: 16 targets, 8 luns per target
esiop1 at pci0 dev 3 function 1: Symbios Logic 53c875 (ultra-wide scsi)
esiop1: using on-board RAM
esiop1: interrupting at ivec 1826
scsibus1 at esiop1: 16 targets, 8 luns per target

This means that it has two Ultra-WIDE SCSI hostadapters.

sd0 at scsibus0 target 0 lun 0: <HITACHI, DK32EJ72NSUN72G, PQ0B> disk fixed
sd0: 70007 MB, 14089 cyl, 24 head, 424 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 143374738 sectors
sd0: sync (50.00ns offset 16), 16-bit (40.000MB/s) transfers, tagged queueing
sd1 at scsibus0 target 1 lun 0: <HITACHI, DK32EJ72NSUN72G, PQ0B> disk fixed
sd1: 70007 MB, 14089 cyl, 24 head, 424 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 143374738 sectors
sd1: sync (50.00ns offset 16), 16-bit (40.000MB/s) transfers, tagged queueing

Both disks are however connected to the first SCSI hostadapter (recognizable
by the "at scsibus0").

	Kind regards
