Dear Gero, & list:

Another approach might be to get a dual channel PCI SCSI card, like the
Adaptec AHA 3940. Dual channel gives you an extra 15 devices, some of
which can be external if you wish. It might be better supported than an
ISA card.

MY first PWS came with a SCSI zip drive, which came in pretty handy.  I
could download big files on my fast connection at work, bag them up on a
zip disk and take them home.

good luck
