[rescue] [FWIW] RaSCSI

[Peter Stokes]

Hi Chase

For me it was simply wanting a cheap solution, all in the cost inc the SD was
around $40 for a reliable working solution with 16Gb storage. On later systems
using the wide 80 pin SCSI I too would go with a standard disk as I have a few
kicking around and they should not be too expensive to buy still.

On the other hand the SD solution is an interesting one technically.

want a SCSI2SD V6 which can do Narrow SCSI-II since it can do FAST10 and
synchronous transfers. SCSI2SD has been around much longer and is probably
more refined than RaSCSI also. SCSI2SD v6 is worth it for any narrow SCSI-2
system.

the job because its going to perform vastly worse.
