Whoa, Clem! Careful with those quotes, please...
The full text was: "That is also the case with MSCP... Not sure if it 
predated SCSI, but for Unix systems, I suspect MSCP came before SCSI. "

In short - I said I don't know which of MSCP and SCSI was first, but I 
believe that for *Unix* systems, MSCP was seen first, based on the fact 
that Unix was running on DEC systems, which had MSCP before SCSI.
