SCSI to IDE bridges...

This sounds like you've tried? I recently had a go at putting a 140GB SCA-80 SCSI disk on my VAXstation 4000-90 and it didn't want to know. I've not investigated very far and it may be something very simple, but it just diudn't play ball. Similarly a 68-pin 36GB device didn't work. I do, however, have 3 18GB 68-pin SCSI disks working in there quite happily. So a simple solution that works in my VS4k90 would be really nice. If anyone has one working in such an environment, I'd certainly be keen to know. FWIW: I don't care about volume shadowing too much. I just want to image all my ODS-2 CDs to a disk. Actually, having gone to all that trouble I'd then want to back that disk up to another one that would then just sit on the shelf, but otherwise I'm not too concerned about backup!
