SCSI has been around for a LONG time, but it was for higher-end
machines.  The Amiga was really the first consumer-based PC that used
it, however Sun, DEC, IBM and several others used SCSI long before
the Amiga showed up.  BTW, I have almost all of the Amigas (500, 600,
1000, 2000, 3000, 3000HT) and am Certified Amiga Developer CDT-1260.
That dates me.

Uh, I can't agree to that.  They were RADICALLY different systems.  The
Amigas (and most other Commodore machines) were not made of "commodity"
parts beyond hard drives and memory.  They also never had the production
numbers of Dell, and therefore were not under the pricing pressure that
Dell (and their competitors) are.

You also have to admit that, at least as far as the Amiga went,
Commodore knew cool hardware but hadn't the foggiest idea on how to
market it.  However, this is all very wide of the intent of this list.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming...
