Mauro, I suspect the performance differences you have observed are related more to software than hardware. The script's driven EIDE controllers are much newer than the SCSI ones, and I suspect that the OS drivers need time to catch up. There is no physical reason why in a single disk implementation there should be any difference between the potential of SCSI or EIDE - i.e. the physical limitation is the medium (bit rate on the disk and head dynamics). However, I do agree that clear performance differences exist in the PC space between the two, but will re-iterate that with decent software it need not be this way. I cannot make any legitimate comments about CDROM & scanners (though I might expect the differences noted above to be more significant because the items are slower). Finally - there was an excellent post of comments in the last CC earlier (start of May ?). I think that gave a clearer picture about market breakdown. If I recall correctly, SCSI was around 50% by revenue but you should find that post for more info. Mark
