No, I am using SCSI Systems with my 32-Bit Controller AMI Megaraid
Enterprise 1200 which I have gotten on ebay for 1 Euro. :-)
My GDT6128RD was more expensive with 27 Euro.
I have HDDs of 36, 74 and 147 GByte.

My "CyberCenter Network", based on Debian GNU/Linux, which includes
beside Internet Cafees, ISP and onlineshop, "IT Education Centers
for Women" are sponsored by the Moroccain Governement, exactly the
Ministry of Education (80%) and Ministry of Family (20%).
Thanks to King Mohammed VI of Morocco!
