I find the 4 drive limitation of IDE machines quite bothersome. Is there
some way, other than scsi, to overcome this limitation in the linux world?
Is setting up a scsi system just a matter of installing a scsi adaptor
and then plugging things in (along with the appropriate drivers)? Is it
worth the extra cost?
Are there easier/better alternatives like firewire/usb peripherals?
Thanks,

Maybe PCI IDE controllers? My motherboard supports 12 IDE devices onboard...
Prolly would need a 600W power supply, and a huge case for 12IDE drives.
