Yes, I've seen other indications of this. It might mark a trend towards maturity in the market: even Micosloth users are gradually asking why this expensive "operating system" keeps crashing, and people with multimedia applications probably wonder why programs sometimes hang for half a second before continuing. The German trade magazines (not necessarily reliable) claim that there's a trend towards SCSI, too. This may be changing the subject, but then again, how many in this thread are about Perl? What are these A/V drives I see nowdays? Are these just standard-issue SCSI drives trying to get on the 'multimedia' bandwagon, or is there really something else to them?
