    And in the 00s and the 10s as an early adopter.
    I'm not quite sure if I remember right, do you? Was it around 10 Megabyte per second we reached with a SCSI hard drive and thought we're the kings? :thumbsdown:
    I'm quite sure that if I bought all that stuff two years later as I did, I could buy a Porsche from what I would have saved.:suicide:

    OMG :facepalm:
    It's way cheaper to buy an old box with winXP for ~$20 and a used SCSI adapter for $30 on ebay just for SCSI conversion.

    I don't remember scsi cables being THAT expensive, and I used them from 91 or so... they weren't CHEAP (~the cost of say a thunderbolt cable), and they weren't disposable like usb etc... christ... all this scsi talk is giving me ptsd! :)

    You are right. I forgot that I payed in German Marks (DM) back then, not Euro (since 2002). So a 2m SCSI cable was around 100 DM, that was $50 in the nineties.

    Same goes for me. That wasn't fun at all. Normally looking backwards in time everything gets a pink shine, but not for SCSI. :suicide:
