I have seen USB2 adapters that let you connect a SATA2 drive.  It would be very nice if Poseidon supported these. :-D

Including these SATA2 adaptors?

Probably, if they're massstorage compliant.

Not much point to them being SATA, though, since the bottleneck will still be either USB1.1 speeds or Zorro/Clockport bandwidth. Results could be better on a USB2 board under Amithlon or MorphOS.


Or USB2 on a Mediator/Grex etc.
