Hard drive converters

I'm getting ready to part from my old SCSI-harddrive connected to my BPPC due to lack of 80-pin QUIET scsi-hdd's on the market (10000 rpm's is pissing me off). So i've decided to use a converter to connect an IDE or SATA harddisk to my BlizzPPC. Now i've tracked down a couple of possibilities:
1. use an IDE-to-SCSI converter to use IDE HDD's
2. use a SATA-to-SCSI converter to use SATA HDD's
3. use an IDE-to-SCSI converter connected to a SATA-to-IDE converter to use SATA HDD's.
Now i've examined and option 2. is a rather expensive one and i don't know if option 3. works (2 converters connected to each other). Has somebody tried any converters? If then please share your experiences!
Thanks :-)

Damn, never thought of this possibility though i have a CF-IDE adapter on my IDE-port :-)
The problem is the size: i have much stuff on my 36GB SCSI-HD and i don't think there's such a CF card to hold the amount...
But thanks for the idea :-)

Sorry, what isnt compatible with BPPC?
I was referring to a SCSI-SATA converter here:
http://www.acard.com/english/fb01-product.jsp?prod_no=AEC-7730SA&type1_title=SCSIDE%20II%20Bridge&type1_idno=11&idno_no=244
I'm not sure about the compatibility though, anyone have a guess or answer?
