As far as I know, the one we have uses standard SCSI (as opposed to
what? Diff?) as well.
All this talk of SCSI has piqued my curiosity... maybe it's time for
another product...
Would anyone be interested in a device with the footprint of a 3.5in hard
disk drive, which allowed SD or CompactFlash cards to be connected to a
SCSI bus?
Perhaps even with the option of emulating SCSI CD-ROM drives (including
those pesky 512-byte block drives), or even multiple devices at a time
("this partition contains a CD image and is SCSI dev 5, this one is a 1GB
hard drive on dev 4, and this is a 100MB read-only HDD on dev 6").
Obviously device IDs would be fully configurable (so you could make it
pretend to be a Quantum Bigfoot or Seagate Cheetah if you needed to).
Multi-LUN and Multi-Device might have to be (low cost) pay-for options,
though...
