You make "SCSI" vs "firewire" sound as simple as what would allow for
a SCSI-to-firewire converter. I have to admit, I haven't seriously
looked into firewire ... yet ... figuring the time would come when I
either needed another computer or the LS-4000. What advantages does
firewire have over SCSI?? Any idea why Nikon switched to fw, and
didn't impliment both?
