Does anyone have any experience with replacing

for DEC hardware (PDP-11, VAX or Alpha).
I'm very interested in this, too. The SGI guys at nekochan love the
SCA->SATA bridges out there, and use SSDs. Even a 128M compact flash
card in my uVAX2 would be awesome, both for power consumption reasons
and speed.
I hadn't even heard of these. They'd really help cut the power
requirements for the Compaq XP1000/667 that I run OpenVMS on. I
wonder if they'd support Shadow Sets (though IIRC, the SCSI-to-EIDE
bridges didn't).
