Please check up on the ISA SCSI adaptor thread  (recent) on comp.pc.hardware
(something like that.) The availability of some high performance (up to 10M
bytes/sec with the adaptor as the bus master (like in Amiga)) seems to indicate
that there is a market for the high end machines using SCSI as a storage device.
As always,  PC hardware are market driven...
