IDE to Compact Flash adapters should be common and cheap. Compact Flash, by definition has all of the functionality of an ATA disk controller built-in, making it straightforward to use it as an IDE disk. Compact Flash specs are at: http://www.compactflash.org/faqs/faq.htm > Can anyone provide information on where to get an SCSI-to-IDE adapter? Have a look at the AEC-7720U Ultra SCSI-to-IDE Bridge from http://www.acard.com as an example. They're not cheap and neither are the alternatives.
