- Can anyone explain the advantages of a SCSI drive and controller over an
- IDE drive and controller?
- I have read that they actually perform worse than IDE drives. Is the
- only advantage that you can link numerous SCSI devices together?
-
- Also, does a SCSI device require an EISA or LB slot or do they work in
- ISA slots?
-
- Thanks,
- J. Walker
