Only the rare A4000 Tower has a SCSI controller on the motherboard, the rest
are IDE.
You do indeed need a SCSI controller, but if you get an acellerator such as
a warp engine with a built-in SCSI controller, it won't take up a slot, just
the CPU daugherboard swap. Otherwise, you'll have to find the 4091(?)
SCSI-II controller, or an older 3rd party controller from GVP and the like,
or even a 2091. They all take up a card slot.
Speaking of card slots, anyone seen a High Flyer first-hand? (The 4000
chassis expansion) are there any notable problems with it?
