LoadWB has already posted on a SCSI version


Actually that is IDE.  None the less, AmigaKit does have pre-made setups for you.  That guide was done years ago when people were just experimenting with CF cards in "classic" systems.

Okay but it was nice to see how it was done. My Amiga 4000 is the only Amiga i have, i have not taken apart, so cool to see some inside pic :)


Glad it was informative.  Now that SSDs are coming down in price and I can get working IDE->SATA adapters, I've considered going to SSD.  However, to take full advantage of such a setup the standard on-board IDE would have to be upgraded using the PIO2 update or an IDEFix,

I found a good SCSI->SATA adapter for around $150.  While that adds a hefty price tag to a hobby project, using an SSD with an accelerator's SCSI interface would be the better performance option versus the on-board IDE.
