Subject: Re: SCSI to IDE
Well alright then, if its just a flame war I wont
bother bringing it
up. Just thought it would be an interesting idea, a way to keep the
machines running in the future with a cheap media when scsi becomes
unavailable or too expensive because of its rarity.
Anyone who has come up with ideas, i'd encourage you to move forward
with at least a theory or virtual model, if not a physical device.
How hard would it be to make an adapter from SCSI (or laptop IDE) to SD
cards (the ones all these digital cameras use)? I figure there will be
millions of those things in the 256MB to several GB range (perfect for old
systems), they should be fast enough, small enough, and about worthless plus
easy to ship cheaply. People are using IDE to CF adapters but it seems to be
SD is more common and much smaller.
