- One big difference, which addresses this latter concern of yours, is
- that the Fusion 40 doesn't have a SCSI controller onboard (as you
- know, the Zeus does). This means that he'd have to keep using the
- existing SCSI controller in his A2000 (unless you're replacing an 030
- with SCSI onboard, in which case you'd have to add a SCSI card). Thus
- the Fusion 40 is not "more likely to support" the ZIP and CD-ROM
- drives; in fact, it doesn't direct support any SCSI devices at all.
-
- We have used the Fusion 40 with both GVP and 2091 SCSI controllers,
- with CD-ROM drives and tape backup units, with no problems.
