Very often its not the actual SCSI drive that is creating the hassles with games... its the SCSI adapter....
because there are just sooo many millions of scsi card brands available, most of the games only gets tested with the major brands...
the most compatible is still adaptec for some reason.... also if you go into your SCSI card's configuration (you will have to press some key combination to enter it - very often shift +s, but it can be anything - your card should display a message as to what the combination is), this takes you into the card's "bios", you will have various read and error handling options for your hard drives and cd roms... [color:"red"] DO NOT MESS WITH THE HARD DRIVE SETTINGS... [/color] if you do, its likely your machine wont boot if it runs of SCSI hard drives. for the cd roms, write down the original settings, and then try to change some of the settings for it, and see which settings your games work with, if you get it working, GOOD WORK, if not, just set the settings back to the originals....
@ the future compatibility issues with starforce.
Its not likely that microsoft will stop supporting starforce in the near future (5 years), microsoft has to attend to compatibiltiy issues of any program that gets used by a medium to large amount of people (they had a percentage and estimated figure of the amount of people on the site, will hunt for the link in the morning - right now its past bed time). STarfoce falls well into the category. And i will double check this as well, but is starforce not a MS partner at the moment??? or at least a MS approved company???? I have this profound memory of reading that somewhere.
