Well, I think it needs it on the motherboard, built-in, standard equipment.
It need not be the latest, greatest, fastest SCSI implementation in the
world. In fact, the implementation as seen on the A3000 would do just fine.
To put IDE on the motherboard is to promote a so-called 'standard' that is
both regressive and slow, not to mention the paucity of choices for
peripherals other than disk. Placing IDE on an Amiga only lends credence to
mediocrity. We can be above that, and should be.
As for comparisons… I don't bother comparing any Intel-based machines to
the Amiga, and pretty much ignore comparisons that others make. Show me an
Intel machine running an OS and GUI as good as the Amiga's, at a decent
rate of speed, and I will start looking at the comparisons.
