I am new to the  world of multimedia and thoroughly confused.  If I buy a
SB16 SCSI card, can I plug a SCSI cd-rom drive like the Toshiba 3401
directly into it and therefore I won't have to buy a separate SCSI
controller?  Would there be any advantage in buying a separate
controller?  My kids will be using the system mostly for games and
educational stuff (encyclopedias, etc.).  Is the speed of the 3401
necessary in these applications?  Do I need a SB16 for these
applications.  I'd appreciate any clarification that you could give me.
Thanks in advance,
