Looks like the Hades is just more complete. It might be that this machine
is cheaper?

About SCSI, I'm currently trying to get an ncr810 utltra card (PCI) working
in my Hades. This card is cheap (+/- $50) and should easily out perform the
5380 ;-) Only problem is that I can't seem to get the card to accept an
I/O and mem area that don't overlap with my et4000... 

So, my point is that it might be cheaper/easier/better to have an external
SCSI-card ;-)

Leo.
