Zeuspaul,
If I understand then, what Networm meant in this post Message 4493009 was that the SCSI card that comes with a SCSI scanner will only operate the scanner, no other devices. That makes sense that the manufacturer would cut the cost that way. The card would be SCSI for one device. Does that sound right? I looked into the cost of getting a SCSI card for several devices and getting a SCSI HD and it's much more than IDE. The cost to me is not worth whatever extra performance I would get if it is marginal. However, the performance advantage in getting a SCSI scanner is huge from what I understand.

The problem of choosing the best motherboard for my computer is not easy. I don't want to spend more than $250 including the cpu, less would be better. I'm satisfied with P166-200MHz, 512Kcache, MMX, as many slots as possible (what is a PCI slot). I'd like to be able to cache over 64MB of RAM but not if it costs a lot more.

Thanks,

Bob
