SCSI madness

[Zac67]

I've found not all systems scan the same direction. :-/ I can't recall which way the A3000 SCSI does it.

The 3k scans bottom up (0 through 6). I've got my HDD on ID1, so I can hook up a drive on ID0 and have it automounted w/o fiddling around.

btw: all narrow SCSI drives I've seen provide a way to turn on/off the termination option. Old drives require you to add/remove the terminator packs, newer drives with active terminators got a jumper.
However, more modern LVD/SE drives (U2W+) have no termination options any more.

Firstly SCSI HD are obsolete, no one has manufactured SCSI HDs for at least the past 2 years now...

As is IDE... We live in SATA, USB & SAS world now.
btw: you can still buy new SCSI drives (Seagate, Toshiba).

Secondly I reckon most folk will be using a desktop A500/A600 or A1200 in comparison to the amount of folk using Big Box Amigas (A3000/A4000 etc..) and in which case IDE is the easier route to go...

Easier? Possibly. Better? No way. Especially on low power machine SCSI shines. Additionally, SCSI drives are (were) generally of higher quality than most IDE and may be expected to have a longer service life.
