SATA has pretty much killed SCSI.


SCSI is not obsolete.  The latest filers and servers all use Iscsi.  You need to read up on this, and its better than SATA.  SCSI for desktop is killed because unlike old days no one will spend $200+ on hard disk.  Remember the days where storage was expensive...

I wasn't talking about it being hardware type or not.  
Someone said SCSI is dead - generic thing to say - the answer is "No its not dead" to that.  Both Fiberchannel and iSCSI are around.
SCSI is dead for home market b/c no one here will spend more than $1000 on a computer.  In fact many users here expect stuff for less than $200, in which case as I mentioned before publicly they should not call themselves amiga users and go back to PC.  
Amiga market has always been small and no one will offer any hardware for small amounts/margins.  I do know there are many so called dealers whose generic background should be nothing but a shame (no need ot mention names, they know who they are).
You see the results with OS 4 and Amiga Ones - one good reason why so few boards were made, because few amiga users would pay money to get theirs preordered.  Hence few were made.  Small market - no economies of scale - big price.  Apple is another example of that.  Its not that their hardware is something special.
SCSI - well its expensive compared to IDE and most users would not notice the difference anyways.
