...If you plug an SCSI card into your pc, don’t hold your breath because nothing exciting is going to happen. (Unless of course you have made a very bad job of installing the card. Then you might see smoke and flames coming from your cherished/reviled PC or even, in extreme cases, find yourself moving down a tunnel towards a bright light.) However, once you have installed you SCSI card you will be able to attach any number of exciting devices to your pc.
Although this is an opinion of Adaptecs AVA-2900 series of SCSI card, it is also a general review of SCSI. I have done this because as far as I can tell this is the first review at Ciao of a SCSI controller card. This seems to be a bit of an over sight to me as any number of SCSI devices have been reviewed, (such as the excellent Plextor externalSCSI cd writer which was the subject...

...The IDE version of this drive has been commented on extensively. I thought I might add a review as I have been using the externalSCSI version, which is a little different.
One thing that sets this writer apart from other in its class is its appearance. I personally think it looks quite smart, but since that is a matter of personal taste, you can judge for yourself if you follow the link I have included below.
For those of you not in the know SCSI stands for "Small Computer System Interface" and is pronounced "scuzzy". Essentially, it is a system for connecting things to your pc, things like hard drives, scanners and obviously cd writers that need to be able to shift hefty amounts of data about. A while back SCSI walked all over IDE in terms of performance but cost a packet. Not only were SCSI devices vastly more expensive but you...

Advantages: Simply the Best Scsi Cdrw on the market Disadvantages: None
...I have owned cd writers since the very first one that was released on the market, many years ago. I bought a Phillips 2X write, 2X read...Since then I have bought numerous cdr's and cdrw's, ranging from the cheap and nasty to the most expensive. I have the privilage to be a systems builder and I've fitted dozens of EIDE Cdrw's, but I have recommended Scsi drives as I always have used them myself. Scsi has always been a better option if you wanted reliability and speed, but I must say that EIDE drives are closing the gap slowly, but I still favour Scsi over EIDE. I think people have been put off buying Scsi systems because of all the tales of woe heard by people years ago trying to install a Scsi drive, ID adresses, Termination, Host Addresses etc,,, but the modern Scsi device, drives and cards are a lot easier to install now than...

The Terminal was released in 2004, Tom Hanks played the lead role in this movie & directed by Steven Spielberg. Well they say this movie is based on true incident taken place in Paris in 90's.
Cast : Tom Hanks, Catherine Zeta Jones, Stanley Tucci... more
The Terminal is rather a strange film, it doesn't really have a strong plot, and it is more of a gentle, sometimes whimsical tale about a man who becomes stranded at JFK airport. The man in question is Viktor Navorski (Tom Hanks) who having come to... more
