Hi Don, I definetely went for SCSI a year ago. Only two IDE drives are on two of my systems (how you can throw to trash 500MB? 🙂 but when I move to magneto optical storage, SCSI was my only choice and I'm very happy with it. I think that the performance is very good, specially with cache, and have all your devices connected to an easy-to-set-up chain, including scanners and cd-roms, makes the only choice for me. Some people said that SCSI on PCs are a nightmare. However, for me is a dream (a very nice one). I haven't had any problem setting up peripherals, in our systems or in the magazine lab. If you are looking for cheap price, good drivers and an easy-to-do scheme, go for CorelSCSI! If you want outstanding performance, Adaptec is the choice for me (their highend cached EISA boards are easy to setup too). You can use CorelSCSI drivers in any ASPI board (I have only tried this with the Adaptecs). The EISA boards from Compaq (which use the NCR chipset, the same as the Corel boards I think) are really good too, specially if you want to setup an huge storage system. We have had a SystemPro/XL with a 2GB disk array in the lab, and it's an awesome performance. Hope this helps. Take care, Ana
