Hello,

With all this talk of scanners and SCSI cards, I was wondering...

Will an Adaptec 1542 16-bit ISA SCSI card provide decent performance over
an on-board/PCI EIDE system? I thought the ISA bus was pretty slow.
I realize the question is vague and there are advancements made every day
in chipsets.  For discussion, lets assume an average P-166 and comparable
disks running under linux 2.0.36. 

Generally, is an ISA SCSI adapter any faster than the on-board EIDE I/O?

Anyone?
