Actually I never heard a thing like "SCSI RAM", but I'm not familiar
with systems other than PCs, so it can be.
In case you mean a SCSI subsystem for HDD, CD-ROM and such devices, You
may have it easily, although it might be quite expensive when compared
to an EIDE sub system. First you need a separate controller (in EIDE
case, you already have it with your motherboard, and yes, there are
motherboards with onboard SCSI, but for an additional price, too) and
second at the high end (20 gigs and more) SCSI HDDs are much more
expensive than the EIDE ones.
Performance increase is not worth the price paid I think, especially in
these days of light speed EIDE/UDMA2 drives.
