Well, thanks to all of you who gave me some very good advices which
finally helped me to make a decision on what to go with; if you
remember, my dilema was whether to get a cdr, an optical drive, a scsi
drive, or just an eide one for my music production and recording. I've
decided to get a scsi drive and I'll eventually get the cdr as well,
when its price falls a bit. I know that just adding another hard drive
won't solve the storage problem, particularly if the files I'm gonna be
writing on it are anywhere between 50 and 100 megs (depending on the
lenght of a song). I also know that 650 megs or 74 minutes of audio for
$6 is not at all a bad price for recordable cd disks. And thus between
the scsi disk and the cd-r, I should have both high quality sound on the
cd, and a free hard disk.
I'm getting the Quantum tempest tm3200S 3.2 gigs and will be hosted by
the BusLogic BT-948 ultra-scsi host adapter. Now I'm wondering if
there's any thing I should particularly pay attention to when I'm
installing it to run with linux. Please let me know. Just one
question, which would be the cable I would need to connect my bt-948 to
the devices - the bt-948 i ordered does not come with a cable; it is
just the card and software.
much regards
robert
