Thanks for the link, it was helpful.

I'm shopping for a new computer, and wanted to see if it was worthwhile to get SCSI devices. Although it won't be used as a server, I wouldn't mind the added I/O speed. It's probably not worth the extra cost, though.

From reading that article, it sounds like the main reason that it costs more to have SCSI I/O is not so much due to SCSI being intrinsically more expensive than IDE, but rather supply and demand. The peripheral manufacturers figure that people who want SCSI also want top-of-the-line devices, so they don't bother making their moderately priced equipment SCSI-compatible.

That was my take on the cost of SCSI also. MSI makes an AMD based mother board with SCSI called the K7D Master for about 150 dollars. You may want to look for a system based on it.

Testing. Please let this work.
