Re: Ultra DMA IDE vs. SCSI 2 or 3

[KoReE <koree@squishy.ameth.org>]

Yeah, you're right.  I don't know what I was thinking :D  It's SCSI-2 :D
My card (Adaptec 2940) mentions something about some level of SCSI-3
compat, which is where my mistake came from.  (I'm a programmer, I let the
field engineer take care of the hardware :)
