Best route to SCSI->CompactFlash?

Yep that's part of the chain. Check out this link for some pretty good documentation on experiments with doing the SCSI->IDE->CF conversion.

I just bought 10 f the SCSI->IDE converters for $10 each. You shouldn't pay mor ethan $20 bucks for a single unit of one.

Also you can use normal Compact Flash but they have a much lower theoretical life span. If you pay more for industrial rated compact flash they will in theory last a much longer life. In all honesty I don't think it's worth paying the extra since the prices are pretty high.

The price for $10 was as countzero said only if you bought a count of 10. I expected to do this a lot since I have quite a few older scsi based machines (Amiga, NeXT, SGI, Classic Mac, etc.).

I have a couple of ACARD units which are cool but definitely are more expensive. The R-IDSC-E/R that was covered in the link I supplied above were the ones I got for a significantly cheaper price.

The jumper settings are important and you should check out the link if you have one to make sure you have all the settings correct.
