Nut if you ever plan on adding stuff in the forseeable future, then SCSI is
cheaper in the long run. You cn add CDROM, tape, more disk, etc, without
having to add more adapter cards, and chewing up your precious IRQ's and
stuff.

I have 3 disks, CDROM, and tape on my Adaptec 1542b. Best investment I
ever made on my system.
