By all means SCSI is superior. USB won't get much data thru, otherwise it is OK; but the Linux support isn't quite here yet. Parallel shouldn't be used for anything besides printers. Even you Zip Drive would breath better in a SCSI, USB or 1394 port. Leandro GuimarĂ£es Faria Corcete Dutra Amdocs (Brasil) Ltda
