- One thing about scsi is that it has it's own bus. If you are
- transfering files, or doing a backup, from one drive to another on the
- scsi bus the data goes straight from one drive to the other ON THE SCSI
- BUS. It does not use the cpu bus, or any other. That frees up the rest
- of the system. I think however that in the case of the Amiga all this
- is done by the chipset and frees up the cpu.
