What's the difference between Algor and Deneb?

I use a CF2IDE adapter to the internal IDE-interface, I have been thinking of using a IDE2SCSI adapter and hook it up to the CS SCSI interface though.

Oooh, that sounds faaaaar to kludgy for me!!!

This may be a stupid question, but does that mean I could boot my A4000 with Denab from an attached USB Memory Stick?

My entire System partition is only 1 Gig!! Secondly, I assume if this worked it would be a lot faster than my 6 year old vanilla no-frills 20 Gig IDE drive??

Thanks in advance.

What kind of problems have there been with the Mediator?

PIO operation was possible, but no DMA. Reason for this behaviour is unknown.
You may ask on the highway_usb mailing list for details, I guess there are quite a few people with Mediators and E3B cards around.

Is it possible to boot from a device connected to the Deneb?

With OS3.x for sure. We have some "test systems" which directly cold start from a CF reader connected to a DENEB.
The 4MB included FlashROM on DENEB does the trick.

There's one issue to think about: if you shutdown Poseidon after boot, you're in trouble, as well as during an upgrade of core files of Poseidon.
Having a "normal" boot system at hand is recommended.
