"Not cheap" could have been very easily solved by the industry, but
they chose not to do it.
And there are several kinds of SCSI that don't use ribbon cables.
SSA, SAS, FibreChannel, and FireWire come to mind. All SCSI, just on
different transport mechanisms. We don't even need all of THOSE serial
varieties of SCSI, but we have them. We certainly don't need SATA, but
we have it anyway.
Damn suits and their greed.
