  Does anyone have any experience with replacing aging
50-pin (or even 68-pin
 and SCA) SCSI drives with a SCSI-to-CF bridge?  I'm thinking specifically
 for DEC hardware (PDP-11, VAX or Alpha). 
I have an SCM PCD-50B which I bought from 
a4000t.com (that site does
not appear to be accessible now).  I have used that connected through
a CMD CQD-220 to boot a PDP-11.  It's a multiple slot multiple LUN
device so you need a controller which can support multiple LUNs if you
want to access anything other than LUN 0, which is the PCMCIA slot
(which of course can be used for a CF card in an adapter instead of
using the CF slot directly).  The PCD-50B doesn't appear to be too
easily available now, nor the PCD-60B.
I have heard of people using the CF PowerMonster / CF AztecMonster
which typically go for around $130 on eBay.  I haven't used one of
those myself.
