[Gllug] SCSI Cards.

[jim at lateral.net]

Hi Harry,

Firewire has been used by Apple for some years now very similar to USB but
much better through put equivalent to IDE I think.  You can get Fire wire
hard drives printers and other stuff as well. and of course Apple's new
iPod has fire wire plus you can boot your Mac from it.  Fire wire PCI cards
are available for PCs.

Good Technology at least in a consumer environment I believe.  If you are
going to the fairs on Saturday I meet up if you like last time I was there
they had SCSI 16x burners for 99ukp burn proof I think but I have a
sneaking suspicion they were priced wrong.

Peace Jim
