To Everyone: There has been a lot of questions and interest about SCSI. There are substantial benefits of SCSI over other systems, as well as many specialized aplications. Most users don't understand what SCSI is, or what benefits they derive from using SCSI as opposed to a different system. (Kind of like the guy who's only computer ever was a Commodore-64 and then when he bought an Amiga, he was shocked to find out that CLI didn't offer full screen editing like his C-64. He didn't realize what he had, he thought ALL computers worked that way!) If you all want, I can either make up a huge document about SCSI, its functions, features and benefits and post it in the DL; or I can post short "Did you know…." type peices every week or so here on the forum. Let me know if there is any interest in either of the above, and any preferences(heh). E.J. Lippert II C Ltd. – (316) 267-6322

Ed, I think a document with all the info in one place would be ideal. If it is truly humungous, prhaps a logical split between chapters, cutting each one down to say 40 or 50K may be more approopriate. Regards, Larry.

EJ; I'b be VERY interested in seeing a doc on the subject. It's a bear trying to work with 75-pin MicroTech AS SCSI's.

Another vote in the affirmative and a vote for 'in the message base' (I have not read all the replies-just Steve's and he did not specify either one). 73s, bill
