Thanks Tom,

The SCSI Adapter that came with the EZFlyer230 has a socket
I never saw before, it's probably in your list above.

There's all kinds of pins on that socket and the cable that
clips on it has a DB25 on the other end for the EZFLYER.

The HP Scanjet 4C SCSI Scanner has a 25 and a 50 pin socket.

That scanner was all I knew of SCSI until I got the EZ135 unit
with the Parallel Port connection that looked like SCSI in
WIndows 3.1.

The DB25 M-F cable that came with that drive has a Tag on it
with a big Red 0 (Zero with a Red Slant Bar through it),
and inside the Red Zero is the letters SCSI printed in Black.

IIRC Jeff Guerdat mentioned he used SCSI HDDs years ago.
I wasn't interested in them back then but now that I got a
SCSI card on the XP box it got me wondering if SCSI HDDs
are better/faster/cheaper than SATA HDDs.

I read something about SATA Hybrid SSDs recently and that
sounded interesting to me to have both technologies in the same HDD.
I can't remember but I would think those Hybrid SSDs would use
two Drive Letters when they're installed in a PC. ???

... Me perfect? No! I'm just short of being Totally Incompetant.
