 Has anyone had any success using SCSI to CF adapters on Sun SPARCs? I
 was thinking about something like a Stratos Technology CF Aztecmonster
 for my SPARC Classic. Any other better suggestions?

 Thanks!

I'm currently working on testing some of these out for my Sun's (back to
Sun 2/120 and Sun 3/110...)
Right now I just got the SCSI2IDE board I built working (thanks to an AHCS
member... Go Alan! :-) )
( http://n8vem-sbc.pbworks.com/w/page/57640284/SCSI2IDE ) and once I get a
working console cable
connected where I can watch it's behavior I'm going to begin testing it
with my Sun's.

I've also got a  SCSI to SD card on order (hopefully will arrive by the end
of the month)
(http://www.codesrc.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=SCSI2SD#Overview) that
I'll also be testing.

So those are 2 options that seem less expensive than some of the others.  I
like the SCSI2IDE idea
better (but I'm hearing that card is not going to be fast) since it would
give me the option of either using
Disk on Modules (DOM) for IDE, CF->IDE adapters or SD->IDE adapters (all of
which I have that work).
It would give the most options.   SCSI2SD though should be good as well,
just not as many options for
the actual storage.
