翻译；IDE to SCSI

        A  MUCH more complicated upgrade is when changing the standard you are using to a faster one. SCSI drives are much quicker at relaying information from the drive to the rest of the PC and back again.
        Unfotunately, this means that the card that fits into an expansion slot to provide an interface between drive and PC has to be changed.
        An upgrade of this kind is still fairly simple, however, a little tike upgrading a CD-ROM dirve. As well as the drive itself, you have to put a new card in a spare expansion slot. Just remove a blanking plate and slot the new card into the hole and remember to connect the hard drive to this card instead of the old IDE controller which will probably still be connected to the floppy drive.
        Beyond this extra feature, the rest of the upgrade should be as straight forward as the IDE-to-IDE upgrade. If you have bought a pre-formatted dirve, the new one should kick in with ease, but a SCSIcard will always come supplied with formatting software. Follow the instructions carefully and the new drive should be ready in no time.
        从IDE(升级)到SCSI
        将你正在使用的标准变为一种较快的标准是更为复杂的升级。SCSI型驱动器总线使信息在驱动器和计算机其它部分之间的传输速度更快。
        遗憾的是，这意味着要更换插入计算机扩展槽上的提供驱动器和PC间接口的多功能卡。
        不过，这种升级还是相当简单的，有点类似于光驱的升级。除了换上新的驱动器外，还须将新卡插入一个空置的扩展槽中。这只须取掉后档片将新卡插入插槽，然后记住将硬驱连到新卡上，以取代原有的IDE，原有的IDE卡仍可能连到软驱上。
        除此以外，升级便象以IDE到IDE升级那样容易。如果你购买了一个已格式化的驱动器，那么新驱动器可以很方便地直接投入作用。SCSI卡出售时总是带有格式化软件，按照说明小心操作，新的驱动器可以很快好。
