I have run into an apparently unresolvable question.
Is there a performance hit in having an ESDI disk
hooked to a SCSI bus through a translator (Emulex MD21)
versus a SCSI disk hanging directly on the bus?

ESDI disk performance is supposed to be higher than
that of SCSI disks.  Does this mean that the two
configurations are roughly equivalent in performance
after taking into account the MD21?

The questions burn on and on.

Thanks.  Tom.
