        SCSI drives above 10gig are still pretty expensive though.
You could easily buy the inline adapter and a new IDE drive and not
pay as much as for just the SCSI drive. I've always used SCSI
myself, but am moving away from it when possible due to it's much
higher price for a comparable capacity. I've got plenty of sub-1gig
SCSI drives that I pick up from various souces though since I do have
a lot of machine that use it.
