ok, I see that they can be linked, Is there a way in protel to take a .sch
file
and tell protel to make a PCB for it? Is protel capable of that?
Or am I just wishing?

interesting
I will have to ask him to explain to me again why he THINKS that SCSI is
easier.

yea.
but yes or no
If we use SCSI, we will be able to just plug in any SCSI periphrial(SCSI
ZIP, CD-ROM,
ETC...) the decoder and it will work with no modification to the
hardware/software..
.I.E. plug and play (plug and fry?)
