Hello All!

What is the difference between SCSI and SCSI-II?

(My guess: SCSI is 16bit and SCSI-II is 32bit).

Is it worth it to get SCSI-II over SCSI?  How much of a price
difference are we talking about?  How much of a performance
improvement?

(NOTE: I will be plugging it into a 32bit machine and I want the
fastest (but affordable) setup).

I am considering $850 for a 210MB Quantum SCSI at the moment.

Thanks in advance,
-Rich
