SCSI is faster but much more expensive. A good IDE controller and drive won't be much slower and will be quite a bit cheaper. If you had a machine with greater bus bandwidth and processing power then SCSI could really start showing off. When I bought an IDE controller for my server I selected a 66 Mbps model as the information I saw indicated that even that speed was faster than the 7500 could handle, much less a 100Mbps. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
