I'm greatly into this also. I have four amigas.
I'm about to put
"hard drives" in two and replace one in a third with 2gb compact flash
cards attached to ide adapters. They're small, fast, quiet, and the
capacity is huge for the era.
I've just recently fitted a SCSI-to-IDE bridge board and a 2GB flash
drive that resembles three 40-pin IDE connectors stacked one on top of
each other to my Emu ESI4000 sampler. It's about as fast as disk, but
totally silent. *Totally* silent. You can't imagine how much nicer
that is than the dentist's drill whine of the SCSI disk I was using
before. Why are SCSI disks so damn noisy? Anyway, I can hear myself
think and I don't need to use my bodge cable to spin down the hard disk
when using a mike. Productivity soars (not really).
