WRONG again, the SASI and SCSI are acronyms that the drive companies give to
their standard ST506 interfaces! If a drive is a SASI it IS a ST506.  Please
check out your facts before making generalized statements about winchester
drives. I have been installing SASI and SCSI drives in the 7300 and 3B1 for
over a year now.


SASI stands for Sugart Associates Standard Interface  which the other 
companies didnt like so they renamed it to SCSI which means Small Computer
Standard Interface.  They are both the same and both ST506, which some other
companies call ST412.
