Problem is that what it would cost me to upgrade to 12Megs, SCSI, and a replace my hard-drives, I could buy a higher performing computer than the one I already have! :P I'd much rather upgrade to a faster computer with the same configuration I have now, than upgrade to accomodate Windows95 on my currently, slower system. :) : 13 megs a second on the HD! That's faster than any of the busses on my : Amiga! 10Megs/sec is FastSCSI (SCSI-II)avaliable for internal peripherals on most new Macs. External FastSCSI and SCSI-III PCI cards are avaliable for both PCI configured PC's and Mac's. I'm sure the SCSI-III throughput is faster than 13Megs/sec, so it's not that exciting. :) -Kevin
