[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] EDSI, SCSI, RLL, IDE -- what's the diff?

huff@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu (11/28/90)

Could somebody please explain IDE, RLL, SCSI, and ESDI to me?  I looked
at faq.txt but it wasn't technical enough.

Also... why does a SCSI drive generally cost less than the others?
Any reason IBM is evaluating SCSI drives?  Are they prefereed?  Why?

Thanks for the help.  E-mail replies preferred.

Steve
