Hey DEC!

1) You probably think this is trivial, but is it asking too much to
make the scsi connectors so that they are all oriented the same way?
(Wide side in or out.)  I can't believe that every time I hook up a
disk drive I have to eyeball the connectors to figure out which way to
plug in the cable or terminator.

2) Watch what some of the other computer manufacturers are doing and
steal their good ideas: use those little numbered thumbwheel switches
with 0 through 7 on them for the SCSI id switch instead of those
stupid dip switches.  Dip switches are ancient and user unfriendly!
