SCSI, please...
USB: Plug in, install drivers, play.
SCSI: Plug in, fiddle with terminators, play with cables, replace
cables, replace terminators, replace host adapter card, replace
terminators again, try with terminators on and off, try daisychaining
in various combinations, give up, go home.
I personally prefer USB on modern stuff... saves me fiddling around with crappy laptops
and Microsoft rubbish... just plug in and use. I have 3 items that use USB... my mouse, my
webcam and a USB 2.0 flash disk (2GB).
I like the hands on of the old stuff though... I can learn and actually feel proud when
things work the way *I* want them to :)
I can also tell when things go wrong... not so with modern stuff where you need to bring
up the troubleshooting docs on the laptop.
