All of the major SCSI interface families have good vendor support for all of the major operating environments, and have for many years. Do I need to make a list? In the closed minds of the average PC retailer, your argument is very popular. Out here in the real world, it's just so much crap. Your argument that the lowest common denominator is the best possible thing to stick with smacks of enforced mediocrity. I bet that you don't advocate W95 as the One True Solution; don't do the same with hardware. > Serge.
