\_ It is a scsi.... is there anything else I can do with the board.... what is so
\_ special about scsi?

cost, # of devices/card, server grade, flexibility.

They typically last "better" than ide drives (so the theory goes) and
originally had lots better performance. With the new boards you can
string up to 16 devices on the same scsi bus (including drives,
cds, scanners, and who knows what else).
