[Hampshire] "Good old" SCSI?

Hi all



Are SCSI devices worth the bother nowadays?



>From last week's post (and thanks for replies) it seems tape is the way and
that USB drives are around £200 for the drive unit. I can get a SCSI
Ultrium drive much more cheaply and the tapes aren't that pricey either at a
fiver each.



This means I can either get a SCSI card or a USB to SCSI adapter. I'm
slightly worried by this because I thought (and I may well be wrong) that
SCSI was bronze age tech and could, at times, be a pain to get working.
ISTR that you need to get a SCSI terminator from somewhere to make it all
work - and indeed an old SCSI card might mean I struggle to find drivers.



So in short - I guess my question is: Is SCSI so old it's not worth
bothering with?

I do need to keep the costs down - but not so much that I make an
uneconomical decision.



Cheers

Rob
