See, Harry?  It's not just me and Christian playing a joke on you.  And 
there's the bonus that there's only one advansys scsi module for all 
their cards (unlike certain other manufactures beginning with adapt and 
ending in ec), making life a little simpler.

And setting up SCSI devices is so much easier because the hardware is far 
more intelligent.  So there's only one scsi tape module, one scsi hard 
disk module etc. because the scsi hardware reports its capabilities in a 
standard fashion.
