[Suns-at-Home] Ultra 10 IDE

[Jerry Kemp]

I have an Ultra 10 and used the Symbios SCSI card(s).  For me, it did 
make a noticeable difference.  And, IMHO, SCSI is always easier and more 
reliable to work with vs. the IDE drives of that time period.

Honestly though, the Sun AXi motherboard was a better option for me at 
home.  I couldn't afford the higher end system with built in SCSI.
