Don't both Acard and Addonics have something along this line already?
I know that Addonics has a SCSI-SATA converter and I think that Acard
still makes a SCSI-ATA converter. The latter can connect to a
regular SATA SSD if a high-performance solid-state soluation is
needed. The former can connect to an IDE-CF adapter (cheap) if a CF
solution is needed.
I've also seen on eBay some 2.5" form factor SCSI-to-CF internal Mac-
style adapters on That Auction Site.
What am I missing?
Those are great for just replacing drives with something that'll function. Probably
something I might bite on for my old Macs, actually (don't know how well they'll
fit in an LC case). I'd need the Acard one for my old Macs, since they only speak
single-ended (Addonics is LVD only). They're a bit pricey, though (about $250 from my
very cursory glance).
What it really comes down to for me, though, is that I want something to play with. :-)
Also, for vintage emulation, the ability to run from an image on a server is quite
useful.
