multi scsi questions

this probably isn't the right forum for the question, but i figured, i'm 
dealing with 2940's here so i might as well:

suppose you have a scsi card (2940U for example) whose bios only recognizes 
scsi id's 0-7.  and say you have another card (2940UW) that recognizes 0-15.
naturally you'd make put the first controller at id 7 and the second at id 15.

the question then is this:  does the first card "own" the 0-7 id space?  that 
is, will it cause problems if i, say, put a hd at id 1 on the second 
controller?

another question: given that the hardware (the disk itself) only has three 
jumpers to set the id, how does one add 8 to the id to get it into that upper 
id range?  or will that only work for devices that support it?

on the side, it seems that 2940U+2940UW doesn't work with recent drivers, 
though either one card or the other works alone.
