Sorry to give you that incorrect information. There are times when
there are incompatibilities for sure though, although most of the time
the physical connectors are made in such a way to keep this from
happening. Not always.

Yes, there are technical merits to scsi. You'll find that it's the
protocol used to communicate between most high end storage devices.
ATA probably won't make it past disk drives and cdrom drives (yes
there are other ATA devices, I know), although I'm probably not smart
enough to say that with any conviction.
