Larry, check out my post at
http://mtu.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?threadid=89 (especially point #3) and you will understand... along with your experiences... why we don't like SCSI. This is such a complicated issue, frought with computer-expert demands that IMHO SCSI no longer belongs in the PC computer marketplace. It has merit for the Server market, but not for average joes (or even above average who want a life outside of their computer!).
Don't wait for Bryan to answer as you have pointed out SCSI things we are no longer expert in. SCSI has changed greatly (degenerated IMHO) over the past 3 years from when we only shipped SCSI hard drives and CDRs.
