1) The card will be preconfigured for 8 gb storage only.

have been done in PCB.

Any idea which vendor to buy from to get an "open" part, how to preserve
the firmware / settings on what you get if you wish to modify it as an
open product? The above is pretty nasty for the vendor of an open
product, and I think I'll be buying from someone else.
Thanks

Wait -
what? I'd never even thought of that. Has anyone got SCSI2SD
running successfully on AS/400?
