>>Bob, once again you have infected me with *technolust*(g)<< Yes, it's sad. And a terrible burden to bear besides <g>. >>Got a Toshiba 1.2 gig drive for $1390 – just couldn't resist the price! It's only a 4400 rpm unit, but it is just a zippy as the more expensive 24 Mhz esdi drive it replaced… I am almost totally scsi'ed now! << I've been looking at that drive myself. What controller are you using it with? I currently run the MAXTOR 8800E, which is a 24MHz ESDI drive, too, with an UltraStor 22CA EISA caching controller. The speed is OK but not phenomenal. What was REALLY surprising is that before the 22CA I had a Western Digital 1009 ISA controller on the same drive, and going from it to the 22CA (with 8 megs cache on it) made a *very* small amount of difference in almost everything I run (Windows or otherwise). I was quite surprised (and somewhat disappointed). Now I wonder if going to a 10Mhz SCSI2FAST drive with the 24F is going to be just another small increment in (perceived) performance. I'm pretty much locked in to upgrading, though, as I'm running out of space (again!). As for being "all SCSI, all the time" (kinda like a radio station, no?), I'm waiting to see if anyone has that ASPI driver for the HP scanner line working, in which case I'm going to jump right in. –Bob
