My understanding is that mini-50 means no more than fast-scsi2, which to my
recal means no more than 10megs per second.  If it is 68pins, then I forget
what that means, but I think it is either fast-wide-scsi2 at 20 megs, or
Ultra-wide at 40 megs.  Not bad speeds, but less than 30 megs means no
uncompressed video capture or playback, and less than 60 megs means no
dual stream uncompressed video (which means compression is needed, which
will seriously slow a machine down).  

This is why Onyx's have so many chanels and octanes meant for editing
also have a lot of scsi chanels, or FC-AL.
