Do you already have a PCMCIA SCSI card? If so, I'd get the SCSI
version. I think parallel is okay if you just need an interface, but SCSI
is superior in most ways--just not as portable/universal (*everybody* has a
parallel port--unless you're going to put this on a Mac, in which case SCSI
is definitely the cross-platform choice).
