Since you already have the SCSI card, the IDE route makes no sense at all. ASIMware CDFS is an excellent system to use. I am a bit surprised to hear anyone has had serious issues with it - I've used it for years (as have most of our old user group members) with out any problems. This is not a free system, but can be found cheap. It is very easy to install too. Just make sure to get the latest version out, V3.10.
Good luck with your A2000.
