Since a Compact Flash card basically uses an IDE interface, you could cobble together a working, but expensive, solution by combining a CF card with a SCSI-IDE converter. Existing drivers would probably suffice, but if not, it shouldn't be too hard for someone with decent code writing skills (that disqualifies me) to bang one out... I agree with you that it would be a kick to have one of these in a Plus! No noise! -- Prof. Thomas H.
