This same project has been started over and over in a number of places. There is a prototype solution that is close to usable, talked about here: http://www.vintage-computer.com/vcforum/showthread.php?22906-SCSI-1-to-from-IDE-drive-converter It's a SCSI-1 to IDE adapter, as is obvious from the title. Take a look, before you go too far down the road of creating your own. - Alex -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
