Scsi?

[Biggie578]

Windows 98 wants to know if im using a SCSI device to install windows. Im using a removeable CD-ROM "MP device" on a toughbook CF-37. Is this SCSI?

SCSI is a hard drive format that is mostly used in servers.

here are some examples.

basicly it's a realy fast hard drive that mostly servers use.
ex: in my opinion, the best server mobo out there, which supports SCSI

and if you look on newegg, you will notice that no PC mobo supports SCSI.

and just to add to that, heres an articl on SCSI vs. SATA

i think that covers it.

googled the toughbook CF-37, and you definately can't be using SCSI on a notebook, i wonder why it asked you that?

Auctually it says "Are you using a PC card (network card, CD-ROM connected to a SCSI card, etc) to install windows?"

My cdrom is a removable "MP device" so im thinkig mabey?
Thoes HDDs are SCSI Ultra, there are slower ones

scsi notebook? i really, really, really, really doubt that.

scsi is a bus anyway so you can connect retty much any device to it, so long as they have a scsi interface of course.
Zip drive, tape drive, hard drive, cd rom drive, scanner...

Actually that sounds like a standard question, just to determine if there are any drivers that need installing.
