Title: IDE-SCSI bridge in use with SCSI-2 module of Cyberstorm MKI
Post by: tormedhammaren on April 03, 2003, 04:26:50 PM

Hi

I've got an A4k with a Cyberstorm MKI 040/40 and
a SCSI-2 module (cybscsi.device v 8.3). I would
really like to attatch my IDE devices - a WD 40
Gb and a Creative 4x to the SCSI-2 module. I know
there is some kind of IDE-SCSI bridge that would
do.

Does anyone know anything about this
bridge/adaptor, where it's availabel and how it
is in use with the Cyberstorm MKI SCSI-2 module?
Would it be better to use a real SCSI HD? At this
moment I'm using the internal IDE connectors on
the mb of the A4000 and it's rather slow...

Thanks to all at amiga.org

Regards Tor

I know that GGS-Data (www.ggsdata.se) in Sweden have them. They have tested the bridge/converter with Amiga hardware and they report that it works great. The issue is speed, though. Compared to a real SCSI-harddrive connected to an UW SCSI-controller, the IDE has no chance in speed. But in your case I would dare to say that you would benefit from getting your IDE units into your SCSI-chain! It costs around 60US dollar, and you need one converter for each device.

You can send him an e-mail to get more info:

Have a nice day! =)
