But I don't think it matters as the current laptop or PC can't really have scsi disks can it, surely they must be IDE, SAS or SATA.
SAS stands for Serial Attached *SCSI*. SATA was already explained in another email.
"SCSI" usually refers to *parallel* SCSI and is, indeed, pretty unusual these days. Personally, I still have a SCSI scanner and a cartridge tape drive on my deskside machine! Thank god I am not using an OS which requires me to completely discard my entire hardware every other year. The scanner works perfectly (hence its name: PerfectScan) and is used occasionally for newspaper clippings and books and stuff that doesn't go into my Brother. Josef PS I had to install the SCSI HA (HostAdapter) upside-down and then use an adapter to connect it to a PCIex1 slot on the motherboard. -- SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH Maxfeldstr. 5 90409 Nürnberg Germany (HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg) Geschäftsführer: Felix Imendörffer
