Everybody says that SCSI is the major standard for  
peripherals in the 1990s, and hence a good investment.  
But how standard are the SCSI disk drives actually?
I have heard that at least Seagate uses its own SCSI 
controller in PCs.  If I want to buy an external drive 
and use it now in my PC, can I later plug that into 
a Sun with a SCSI interface?   Or into a Mac?
Can I have a SCSI interface for the 3620?
In that case, what drive should I get, and can the SCSI 
interface live with our existing drive controller in the 3620?
Thanks in advance,  Hannu Saarenmaa
