It is not for nothing that Apple no longer delivers any desktop machine with SCSI drives. IDE drives have become so dependable and fast that there is generally no reason to use a SCSI drive. Possible exceptions being a server or a raid, but in both cases the OS would not be - or shouldn't be - on the same drive as the backup. My techies (both convinced mac users as well as UNIX geeks and professional engineers) have made it clear to me that SCSI is dead for all intents and purposes. I cannot see why you should be ticked off. Apple made a technical decision which one must assume was not purely done out of spite. The problems you are encountering are due to your assuming that you know better.
