Tina,

The Flextights do a great job. I have used one of the current models at 
work. The Precision II uses a SCSI interface, which is a bit clunky 
nowadays. I have an old G4 Powermac, as well as my 2 Mac Pros. The G4 has a 
SCSI interface, but most modern computers don?t. If you can get round that, 
then you?re onto a winner.

Best wishes,

Charlie
