We use mostly Apple drives (internal and external), SCSI and non-SCSI.
We also have a CMS 40, a Dataframe 20, and a HyperDrive FX-20.  Amoung
the SCSI drives, I've seen no difference in performance.  On one server
we have the CMS 40 and a non-SCSI HD20.  No problems with any of the 
drives.

I haven't sat down and measured it, but it doesn't 'feel' any faster.

Not that I've found.  Nor *should* there be, as the protocall is
the same, which is all that matters.

MacII servers serving 512Ke workstations, and Mac+ servers serving
SEs and MacIIs, etc. etc.

P.S. to Mr. Oster:  sorry, I've just been too busy to check out
		    whether or not the workstation or the server finder
		    sets the file time-stamp.  Perhaps someone else
		    with more free time can check it out?
