Might be worth asking the manufactuer if they have other American distributors;-

http://www.acard.com/index.files/Page441.htm

They list Ars-2320 as also being LVD compliant, the snag is it ships with an 80 pin connector.

This could be clone or manufacturer direct, contact at bottom, might be worth talking to them;-

EDIT: What might be cheaper is an LVD-IDE adaptor and an IDE SATA adapter. Although not as fast?

I doubt the scsi2sd micorocontroller is as fast and IIRC only one type of them is LVD?

If you're looking at low cost alternative, a true LVD scsi-ide together with the right ide-compact flash is probably going to go faster than an scsi2sd.

It's like there's a glut of LVD-IDE cards. Not even $10.

You're right. SSD makes sense. You can get IDE-msata SSD adaptors. Much faster than compact flash.

Mine does about 25MB/s. It's strangled by the IDE controller. (Obviously not in an Amiga).
