Not to go too far off topic but, see what $168 gets you in IDE. Since
I've done a little bit oflooking into this, I'll post some notes Ive
found: (note, all m y figures are at home, not w/me right now)
25gig IBM UDMA/66, 2 or 4mb cache, <10ms seek time, 5400rpm, ~$300
9.1gb IBM SCSi3 (68pin, 40MB/s), ?? cache, <10ms seek time (prolly better
then that..), 7200rpm, ~$260.
22gb IBM UDMA/66 2 or 4 cache, <10ms seek tiem too, 7200rpm, 2something.
The above numers could be a bit off, as its all from memory and week
oldprices. But, for little more $$ you get a lot more space. (UDMA/66
also does deal with lots of the issues of udma/33, but SCSI is no doubt
faster.)
