proprietary non-SCSI hard disk: why?  Also, why the expensive and slower
TransWarp GS when for several hundred dollars less they could
use a faster and less expensive Zip GS.  The funny thing is that in the
Zip GS review in the same issue, they were exclaiming how a fast Zip GS
with a large cache was cheaper than and faster than a stock TransWarp GS
(7MHz with 8K cache)."<<

Why?  In large part because the "editorial staff" of inCider was not only
highly biased toward "the wonderful world of Mac" (possibly by seduction
and/or pressure from ACI), but was also not very technically competent to
do a meaningful review.  This was one of Paul Statt's most miserable and
transparent performances...from a series of technically laughable
"articles" by him over the years.
