subject: Re: [OS2HW] Lack of SCSI competition

Hello
  Sorry if I am sufferring from a brain cramp but whoever said that
especially on SCSI any one drive, even a CDROM, would affect the
performance of another? Isn't that one of the long held values of SCSI?  If
I am correct in this, that is a pretty severe indictment of the quality of
support they have regarding SCSI in general for *any* OS and simply
underlines how so-called tech-support personnel suffer from softness in the
brain whenever they're faced with an alternative OS.  I feel for ya Daniel.
