Which ones you guys recommend ?
Just to clarify, I need an adapter which connects IDE (PATA) drives to
an SCSI equipped VAX ...

I'm told the Acard ones work, but with one caveat, Volume Shadowing
will not work. I have a good stash of SCSI drives I picked up at a
swap meet years ago, so haven't bothered to get any converters.

OK, thanks, I will check them out.

Yes I know, but in the meantime, I'm having an overflow of 80GByte
system disk from various systems. Like to put them to work first, and
save the SCSI for bad times ;-)

Makes sense, also you can save certain drives for the "finicky"
systems that won't take the larger disks. I've been thinking about
getting a U2W-SCSI converter and a large Seagate drive as a backup
disk for my primary VMS box, it would make automating backups "cheap".

The problem in saving drives is that is very common for the head to
"glue" on the disk surface. I've seen it here many, many times. That is why
I don't store hard disks anymore.
Solid State is the way to go.
