So why the fuck do we still have to mess with crappy IDE chip sets when
there are reliable SCSI chip sets out there, such as SYM53C8XX?
Why the fuck do we still have to pay about three times as much for a
similar drive with SCSI interface rather than ATA?
Why are 10,000/min drives not available as ATA? Why are 5,400/min drives
not available as SCSI? Why are there no Diamond Max SCSI drives?
If it's not for profit, tell me why. A vendor could easily separate the
interface from the filter/decoder/cache section, and sell those
interfaces (either ATA/100 or some SCSI variant) with either drive.
It's not done, though.
