No, AFAIK, it's mostly just that manufacturers could target SCSI
at servers, and hence could milk corporate wallets for all they
were prepared to pay. The actually circuitry accounts for very
little of the cost of a drive, for example, and modern drives are
the same basic chassis with some IDE or SCSI circuitry slapped on,
depending on which market they're aimed for.
