The real fun was taking an ACARD 7720IU SCSI to IDE

updating the BIOS to the latest version (3.86) and popping on a cheapo eBay male
IDE-CF converter with a 64MB Sandisk CF card. The ST-02 and an ST-01 had no
problems seeing the CF card.
Wow! That's cool. I haven't had any SCSI-to-IDE converters to play
with, but it sounds like I should keep my eyes out for one. Are there
any 'gotchas' with the ARS-2000IU? Max drive size? Strange SCSI
packet issues? Will it work with really old SCSI implementations?
Really new ones? Given your environment, I'd guess it's 8-bit SCSI,
but that particular portion of the SCSI continuum covers a lot of
ground.
Thanks for the detailed report on what you've tried.
