Heck, I'd go as far as to say 90% (if not more) of the machines out
there don't have SCSI, especially in the home.  Where you probably
find large concentration of SCSI devices are at companies that buy
like-equipped machines.  And in file servers.  I work at a software
development shop and we have many high-end machines, but only our file
servers (NT & Novell) have SCSI drives.  

I just picked up a ZIP drive and although it'd be nice to have the
speed of the SCSI version, I couldn't even consider it because *none*
of the machines (at home and work) that I'll be using the drive with
have SCSI controllers.  I've found the performance of the ZIP drive to
be quite acceptable, especially if your BIOS supports the EPP parallel
port architecture.
