SCSI hard drives are getting pretty long in the tooth. Whichever controller you decide on (personally I'd pick the 2091 and look into the 14MHz hack), get one of the various SCSI-to-SD or SCSI-to-CF adapters.

That one or anything comparable, yes.

Really sucks that the 2620 board is a no-go.

Saw you mention something about that in another thread.  How much testing have you done on it?  Removed memory, checked jumpers, etc.?  Assuming someone hasn't tried to overclock it those boards are usually pretty robust, I wouldn't write it off just yet!  ;)

I would also give the Hard Frame a try

No memory expansion option with this card.  The A2091 supports up to 2MB and can be overclocked for pretty decent performance.  Also better support in after-market (easier to get new ROM's, etc.).  But whatever works, lol.  :laughing:
