Perhaps on the desktop. But in servers, arrays, minis and mainframes, SCSI, in one of its many forms, will rule for more than a few years, if not a few decades. The issue is *not* lowest cost per gigabyte, where EIDE/UATA currently reins supreme. I've recently converted my main machine to all UW-SCSI. And, I'm going to be converting the others as well. The only drive on the two internal EIDE/UATA buses (of my main machine) is a CD-R/W or a DVD/CD-ROM (depending upon what I want to work on at the time). All the rest are on the UW-SCSI bus(es). -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
