Just a short comment: SCSI is used very much and there is nothing wrong with SCSI itself. The problem is that, even though SCSI has been on the market for 5-10 years, the compnies producing SCSI peripherials does not follow the SCSI specs. Or the specs. are to "lose". In the "good old dayes" when ST506/412 was used you knew that if you had a ST506/412 controller it for shure would run with a ST506/412 disk. With SCSI one can be shure that if the computer can run with one type of SCSI disks it can't run with others. So my advise is that you should avoid SCSI as far as possible, but as it is "in" I'm not shure you can get very many peripheriasls without SCSI. --- Eigil
