I'm interested in this product but at ~$100
including postage from Oz,
it's a bit more than I'm comfortable paying since I still have a stack
of 1GB and 2GB and 4GB real SCSi disks. Eventually I'll need
something like this, but by then, perhaps there will be a solution for
$50. It is a good idea and it looks well constructed, but the foreign
origin boosts the price over my comfort level.
Yes, that's about where I'm at, except for the annoyance that I don't have
any SCSI disks *here with me* (and could use one for my Apple IIgs and
another for an SE which has a particularly flaky drive). But I do have
quite a stash in storage, and some of them probably still work.
Has the world moved on from CF? I always thought that was supposed to be a
bit easier to interface to - i.e. SCSI->IDE bridge, IDE-CF adapter, done.
Maybe there are just various gotchas that make SD more attractive?
