When it comes to computers and data integrity, the only stupid questions are
the ones that don't get asked ;-).
AFIK, there is no limit (yet reached by SCSI storage devices available on
the market) on the storage size of external SCSI device(s), either for
reading or writing across the 2400 SCSI bus. 10 gb is absolutely no problem
(to be safe, connect only in shutdown mode). Dim memory is somehow
suggesting the upper limit is maybe 1000 gb which still lies a bit in the
future--anyway unlikely to be available as SCSI.
