You saying that a 2 gig drive could seek and transfer data faster
than a Yum Cha SCSI controller could handle?  What sort of
performance degradation are we talking about?

RS> Bill is overstating the cost a bit, but a decent high performance
RS> say Adaptec will cost a surprising amount of hard drive GBs.

Yes, THEY cost a fortune.  That's what I've got.  BFN.  Paul.
