aging SunBlade 1000, and it uses fibre drives.
I think both EIDE, and SCSI are slowly on their way out. Though
hopefully SCSI will stick around for a while longer.

Really. How many different kind of machines are
coming *brand new*
with SCSI *right now*?
Pretty much anything that isn't a desktop PC with a year or so of
design life, I would have thought. It's still perfectly alive and
well for people who care about quality.
