Re: SCSI drives too fast to boot?

[Bruce Johnson]

This entire sad story is why I recommend *against* SCSI drives.  I have 
one last legacy SCSI disc on my systems, and it's there until it dies. 
That said, since it's an old full height 5 1/4 inch seagate boat anchor 
of a drive, that might be forever...;-)

They are finicky, easy to mess up, hard to fix and not really worth the 
hassle in todays world of ATA 133 and SATA.

You spend vast sums of money&time on comparatively teensy little drives 
for a marginal performance enhancement.

I know there are folks who will passionately defend them as the 'one 
true solution' but screw it...you've already wasted more time out of 
your life getting this working than you will ever save over simply 
tossing in a $75 SIIG ATA controller and a $100 160 GB ATA drive, and 
being done with it...

<shrug>
With SATA, I'm not sure that SCSI even has a place in the server arena 
anymore.
