The point of going with SCSI is that it 1) doesn't tie up a possibly much-needed serial or parallel port, and 2) gets much better throughput than either of the above. As an aside, SLIP over the parallel port would also be a nice option. Related to all of this is, of course, the whether or not the shipped system is going to provide enough flexibility that users can add third-party device drivers?
