In this the weakest link would appear to be the SD Card. As such it seems to me that the best solution would be to have 2 or more SCSI2SD’s in the device. I’m not sure what benefit would be achieved by using a single board to present multiple devices. Unless of course you had a drive size limitation, or you’re trying to emulate something like 2GB or 4GB drives. As an example, that would be handy for VAXen with a 1GB Boot Drive limitation. Zane
