I went scsi. It was about $75 more than IDE three years ago when I got my 250M drive. I've been able to scape together all kinds of, shall we say, interesting SCSI devices that just work. My SCSI bus has had on it about 10 different disks (some transient), a 7 cd changer, a tape robot, three or four different tape drives, and a plain old scsi cdplayer. At the time there was no way that IDE could even touch it. While more expensive on the front end, it has more than paid for itself in the long run for me. Warner
