Hi, Amen to that. The biggest problem I've had, outside of (the *VAST* majority of) USB drivers which were so buggy as to cause my machine to BSOD as soon as I tried to use the device, is that every time you change/upgrade your OS you need to wait for the hardware manufacturer to release updated drivers....in most cases I've seen these "updated" drivers provide just the bare minimum of functionality in order to "persuade" you to buy a newer device. HP are a prime example, the 64-bit drivers for my printer/scanner/copier only allow the use of the unit as a printer....and a monochrome, text only one at that! :-( Quite. The only compatibility problems I've ever had with SCSI were caused by a couple of 5.25" full height hard drives which refuse to work if *ANYTHING* else is connected to the SCSI bus at the same time (one is a Siemens drive, the other a Fujitsu - I still have them, LOL). Other than that I've always found SCSI to be quite wonderful.... :-) TTFN - Pete.
