Well, SCSI HD's are expensive. So, go on with ATAPI/IDE HD.
But you can use SCSI for a CD burner and a scanner and ...

For this, you don't need an up-to-date SCSI card. No wide bus, just
an internal 50 pin plug for the CD burner and an external 50 pin D
plug for the scanner. Cables provided with the peripherals!

And you don't need to pay the Adaptec premium prices. Look for other
brands : Tekram, Iwill, ...

   L.A.

P.S. The last cheap SCSI scanners were sold 12 months ago, here. (I
got one!). Now, all the market is for // and USB, except a few
expensive models.
