Hello..

	Has anyone out there used a SCSI drive with windows 3.0
if so.. How good does it work with it?  Are there any compatability
problems with software?  What SCSI contoller card are you using?
I am currently looking into upgrading my PC.  I would like to
use a ALWAYS IN2000 SCSI controller with my existing IDE interface.
And a 100-200 meg SCSI drive.  I don't want to replace my internal IDE
because I can use only one IDE drive in my system.. (gee thanks DELL)
And the other one would goto waste.  I also would like to connect a 
CD-ROM drive to my PC .. but currently use must use SCSI with CD-ROM
drives and most controller that come with the drive don't work with
IDE.. they work with ESDI, MFM, RLL, but not IDE.. I have been told
that the ALWAYS card with work with IDE but I really don't trust the
source..  And finally.. Im buying my wife-to-be a MAC and I will
at some time buy a UNIX workstation and I would like to be able to
use the drive on either system.


				thanks for any info..
