    Lots of us have invested in SCSI interfaces and SCSI devices. Like it
or not, these are significantly slower, smaller, and more costly than
comperable PC peripherals.

    Why bother moving an x2 CD-ROM drive to your GS-X when you can plug in
a new x6 for $100 or less?  Why be concerned about transplanting a 250MB
SCSI drive when you can install a new 2GB IDE drive for less than $300?

    Transferring files could be a bother. However, as Toby suggests, the
GS-X could allow SCSI support. Just plug in your interface and transfer
the files.
