They have disappeared as long as you don't need to attach more than two
devices per controller....

I already have 4 on one controller (two SCSI 2 disks + tape + CDwriter)
and another two on a second controller (two SCSI 3 disks).

On an IDE I'm limited to two devices per controller - so I would be
missing 2 devices, and have to add another controller, with another
set of addresses, IO space, and IRQ resources consumed out of a limited
set....
