FWIW,
Not exactly 'classic' but the following doo-hicky might be
a useful mass storage device for an A2GS/A2E

I've got one ordered, however, he's not started shipping quite yet.
They're not terribly cheap though (100$)
It is a CF/IDE interface, I wonder how difficult it would be to adapt
it to talk to a IDE Cdrom drive..

LEM has some nice deals if you view the list every day (stuff gets sold
quick if the price is good).
The nubus uwscsi cards go quick to people with old A/V capture systems that
need the speed (the reason I want one)
