Wait - what? I'd never even thought of that. Has anyone got SCSI2SD
running successfully on AS/400?
I noticed that one vendor had the following note in their sale posting on Ebay.
** Please note
1) The card will be preconfigured for 8 gb storage only.
2) You will not be able to change the firmware as a little modifications have
been done in PCB.
Vendor: floppy_to_usb

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

That price ($200) is about 3X the going rate.

I have no vested interest in SCSI2SD, other than being a very satisfied user.
