Hey there
I don't know anything about problems with SCSI cards/devices. OK - I only have a
burner and two different scanners attached to my system, but they works (and
installs) without any problems.
It's right that SCSI disk's are faster than IDE's but compared to price?????
But one thing is shure, your Linux will be more stable, if you have a 'pure'
SCSI-system.
