> (and all this, btw, is why we now use ATA and FireWire...) I haven't dealt with FW much, but I can't say I'm enthused about those connectors... I've already had a FW connector pull out because someone yanked *gently* on a cable. But ATA? Ye gods.
With ATA you have to deal with master-slave conflicts, cable-select that doesn't, devices that only work right as master and devices that only work right as slave, ATA-66, -100, -133, and crappy performance because ATA doesn't support disconnect and tagging. Yeh, I know Apple's SCSI was never particularly high performance but that's Apple's problem, not anything specific to SCSI. -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
