- If I buy a SCSI controller for my 1200 (either PCMCIA, i.e Squirrel, or
- for my Blizzard 1260 card), will the SCSI interface override the IDE
- controller already fitted? (In other words - can I still get any use of
- my IDE hard drive?) Or do I have to go SCSI all the way.
-
- Also, what are the (average) xfer rates for good SCSI HD's ?? (Are there
- other limitations than just the SCSI interface ?). Currently I have
- (according to the not so thrustworthy SysInfo) about 2 MB/s peak read on
- my 545 MB Quantum IDE drive. How much will I gain with a good SCSI II??
-
- Thanks to anyone who cares to answer me.
