I was in a similar situation myself recently. I have seen a scsi-to-sata adapter somewhere once, but it was a very niche and expensive product. There are cheap scsi 50/68/80-pin adapters out there however (try google), allowing you to connect a semi-modern scsi drive to an old 50-pin interface. If you do find an inexpensive scsi 50-pin to sata adapter then please let us know about it ... /Mikael -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
