i paid $150 usd for my USB Compactflash reader. Performance is okay but nothing to get excited about. I have never tried a SCSI reader but I can tell you that performance would be at least an order of magnitude greater than a USB reader. Readers with a SCSI interface command much higher prices than do USB or Parallel-port versions. It is a much more common interface, no special drivers needed, and much higher performance. >>Mike, to upload images from a compact flash to a PC is done most easily with a reader that costs about $20 and connects to the USB or PCMIA input. Uploading a half dozen high resolution images in this manner can be done in about 3 or 4 seconds. If you upload into a SCSI port, it's several minutes, instead of seconds. <<
