First off I don't care for any debate, so I am replying to a post that I agree 
with.

Me talkin now.....
As an aside to performance, economy, etc....
I am glad I bought a SCSI drive (just happens to be an EZ that I do like)
because I now have gained  experience with SCSI devices. Buying a cheap Trantor
SCSI adapter has not only given me removable media but also the ability to 
operate an inexpensive used Microtek flatbed color scanner.  The scanner
came without a card, but since I had bought a SCSI adapter for my EZ drive
I was ready to buy and use this color scanner. 
This used Microtek flatbed runs Textbridge Pro, Omnipage Pro 6.0 OCR software
very well indeed,  plus Adobe Photoshop LE and Picture Publisher 5.0 give me
good graphic capabilities.   (After I color calibrated the checkerboard effect
went away)

I'm running this scanner with a Twain driver  (Aspiif.exe) from Microtek's BBS
right now in Windows 95. All I did was set the SCSI card up from the Win95
upgrade drivers and execute Aspiif.exe last in my autoexec.bat.

Everything runs 32-bit, 3d animated Mouse pointers, blah blah blah.

I like SCSI cause I can run scanners, Hard drives, fast tape backup hardware (my
next planned aquisition), removable media, don't have to give up an IDE slot to
run my SCSI CD Rom, blah, blah blah.  (I already have 3 IDE hard drives under
800 meg from when they were $$$ expensive. Now with Scuzzy I can add maybe 4
more hard drives if I want. Maybe a bigger power supply is what I should get
next or a SCSI device tower with its own power supply)

To much talk and not enough OCR and graphic scanning, saving files, creating
files. etc...

Bye all.......
