- Sure Chris,
- IDE controllers have very little on them because most of the controlling
- technology is on the HardDrive. Where as wih the SCSI most of the controlling
- hardware is on the card. Most if not all IDE controllers will only suppor 2
- drives only. Where as most SCSI cards support more than 2. I personally like
- the SCSI standard. I would recomend SCSI for your Amiga since it would suppor
- the addition of many other Amiga devices that the IDE controller will no.
