One of the better (not boring stuff only :) German computer magazines summarized EIDE by the time it popped up as something that tries to solve problems that SCSI does already have solved (with SCSI more evolving into wide and fast), but which will eventually go through all the mistakes SCSI had to go through in the beginning, solving them step by step. They are trying to catch up with SCSI, and by the time they have done, SCSI will already be more advanced... This was a couple of years ago. They could have written it yesterday as well. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
