I do not have experience with either multiple host adapters nor
1394b adpaters. However I read numerous times that multiple host
adpaters work under Linux, and I think S800 works too. If you
don't succeed under 2.6, give 2.4 a try. It is still more stable
WRT IEEE 1394.
As Mark mentioned, gscanbus ignores any other than the 1st bus.
This is a limitation of gscanbus that could be removed quite
easily. Furthermore, gscanbus is not yet aware of S800.
Other 1394 apps let you select a bus by parameters or maybe
throug a GUI. The sbp2 driver should work with devices on more
than one buses transparently without special prerequisites.
