  • Get on the bus! [system board SCSI vs slot]

    From Louis Ohland@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jan 31 07:42:32 2023
    I'm not as advanced as some.

    If I have a system with system board SCSI, and one with slot mounted
    SCSI, is there any advantage?

    FAIK, there is no "local bus" SCSI, akin to dual path memory...

    All: SCSI-2 (not Fast; not Wide; 5 MB per second maximum burst data
    transfer rate using 8 bit bus)

    All: 16 bit to Micro Channel / busmaster / integrated on planar / uses proprietary local bus at 25 MHz
