Hey
I will heed to be getting a bunch of new external devices over the next
couple of months, and was wondering how firewire stacks up against
SCSI. I would rather not invest in something which is to be obscelete
in 6 months (former Amstrad owner here...).
Firewire compares quite favourable with SCSI devices in terms of price.
(Am I wrong on this? Is there a reason for this?) How well is it
supported by Debian / Linux? How well does it perform, especially when
you start a bit of chaining?
Anyone's experience or a pointer to a good review would be much
appreciated.

PS - To any multia owners out there. The onboard SCSI device on a
multia is SCSI-II, is it not? Also, does anyone know where you can pick
up internal/external SCSI adapters, as neither Jaycar (Gore Hill) or
Harris have them...
