-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I want to add some storage to one of my desktops, and I'd rather not use IDE because of the two-drive-per-controller limitation. Plus the internal drive bays are full, so I need to move to an expansion cabinet of some type.
I have a SCSI card in the box, so I was anticipating going to a seven-drive expansion box to which I could add more drives as needed. Unfortunately, SCSI drives seem to have virtually disappeared from the market. I'm hearing that firewire is the replacement for SCSI parallel interfaces, but I'm a software geek and lag terribly behind the hardware awareness curve. I've basically ignored firewire ever since I first encountered it in the l990s when it seemed to be mostly an experimental toy from Apple. So, what would people suggest for an external expansion strategy? - -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Ken.Coar.Org/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQCVAwUBQqmGqZrNPMCpn3XdAQFYbAP+MCHQE1o1jI22l7GuR+qbcrO9gW2i33Oe ZfHWbK9VKeKfw9vc1q85W4Wne7eOE2H+AFsIY/Fn5zm7Bzs35IBBdExqRNRbgjBy pDWBCEm82qELFm3z+DCYpE+3OJahrEvMXnG0vKqQI9K7kZIURFbJ3AtL4Rvhxx8t HjUOrjsN5bs= =C88P -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
