You mean that the typical SCSI implementation doesn't have surprises, complexities
and bugs?  Just make sure that you buy the "right" drive, or the adaptor
that we support microcode for.  (Actually, it isn't the problem of the
"right" drive -- it is the problem of don't buy the "wrong" drive -- but
if you have bought the "wrong" one, the problem is the same.)
