Not true.  It can be much more convenient.  I can have three hard drives,
a scanner, a tape backup, a zip drive, and a CD-ROM drive all hooked up to
the same high performance SCSI bus, without mucking with the parallel port,
serial port, floppy port, or other not-designed-for-high-data-xfer-rates bus.
