Mike Smith writes: SCSI card support in 3.0 is nonexistent, as the aic driver hasn't been CAMified yet. Practically, SCSI support in a laptop is almost useless anyway; you don't want to be lugging all the extra peripherals around. I would like to contest that. In some of the work I do, the ability to hook up a tape or Jaz drive on the road has been of *critical* importance to the work I do. I will agree that my work is unusual, but the ability to show up to a DOS-only shop and say, "OK, let's try reading the tape directly and see if we can guess what the format is," is a real lifesaver. OTOH, I also have an Iomega Jaz Traveler, and I tend to use it by preference (it *is* supported in 3.0). Duh...what's a Jaz Traveler?
