>>Rocky, you said the Syjets were running Video flawlessly. I have an older IDE Syjet as did Joe who used to post here regularly, and as I recall he had a long discussion with Syquest support on setting the Syjet up for A/V.<<

Did you also discuss the differences between IDE and SCSI? There is a reason why audio./video and mulitmedia industries use SCSI. The Syjets at PC Expo were SCSI.

IDE vs SCSI has nothing to do with the internals of the drive. PIO MODE IDE does not allow for queuing or multiple command execution. PIO IDE also is processor intensive due to its design. Only UDMA drives relieve this bottleneck. Those drives are exactly the same internally but the way it comes of the drive determines aggregate throughput for A/V.

My two cents,

David O'Berry
