Off topic question : UltraScsi III does 320mb/sec which is all well and nice but scsi being a
million years old need pre-allocated ID and termination, max 16 devices
etc etc.
FireWire on the other hand does 400/800mb/sec and can not only support
63 devices but you can daisy chain and it doesn't need termination. On
top of that you can daisy chain up to 1023 buses together.
So, why is scsi still alive?
You need to do your homework before posting crap. Ultra 320 scsi is not 320 mbits/sec - it is 320 MBYTES/sec (2560 mb/sec). Serial attached scsi will double this speed to 640 MB. And the 16 device limit is long gone.
