There has been a lot of activity recently among the Apple II/IIgs crowd
about using the combination of a cheap SCSI to IDE bridge and an IDE to CF
adapter to use Compact Flash memory cards in their computers.
This apparently is working quite well and after doing some research I've
seen examples of people using this set up to replace dead SCSI drives in
vintage Macs, Suns and at least one NeXT workstation.
There is a vendor selling these adapters for $30 each. The eBay item # is
350044078177. I did some digging and the documentation can be found here:

I hope you folks can use this to revive some bit of rare hardware that
needed a new hard disk. :)
I'm now looking to get one or two 8 bit ISA SCSI boards that I can use in
a couple of 5160 PC/XT machines I've got. They need to be "bootable"
cards. If you have one or two you want to part with, please contact me
off list.
