I've tried this on a Macintosh Classic for fun once, and it worked pretty
good.
I used an ACARD SCSI<-->IDE, and then a generic IDE<-->CF, and was
ultimately able to get it formatted, MacOS installed, and was able to boot
from it too.

Does anyone have any experience with replacing

68-pin
and SCA) SCSI drives with a SCSI-to-CF bridge?
I'm thinking specifically
for DEC hardware (PDP-11, VAX or Alpha).
I would like to posit an additional question to the group: Does anyone
know of a SCSI-to-whatever bridge that will let a CMD CQD-220 on a
PDP-11 see the attached (modern) media as a tape drive?
I ask, as I have no idea how to run the RSTS/E 10.1 installations off
of anything other than tape. And while I could always build my RSTS/E
10.1 system disk on SIMH I'd much rather experience the installation
experience as close as possible to what it was really like on an
actual PDP-11.
Cheers,
Christian
