For an A1200 why not use one of the CF adapters that are about a dime-a-dozen on most sites?  :lol:
Personally if I had an A1200 I'd get Kipper's external model:  http://www.kipper2k.com/cfadapters.html
Because i already have several ide cf adapters.
but i want to run the os from the internal blizzPPC scsi controller. since it also is faster than the ide....
And i use my internal IDE for cd-rom only. with this adapter.
it makes cd-rom usage go faster. since it moves data from one interface to another. instead of drowning one interface with in and out data...
and i don't have any SCSI cd-roms... only disks and zip..

Adapters for SCSI are a lot harder to come by.  For my money I still stand by the "Mechware" SCSI card readers, but scalpers have those all hoarded up now, you've gotta pay around $200 for one, these days.  :(
No, not really. This little devil should fix the availability issue....

LOL.  You didn't mention having a SCSI controller, you just said you  "have a noisy 3GB drive you'd like to replace".  
eem.. yes, i actually did... read the post again. i wrote SCSI with small letters... :D

But now we are hijacking the tread from the OP...

looking at the adapter, and reading data about it.
i see no real issue with the adapter not working in any scsi controller.
and besides. the dev of it seems to work quite hard on updating the firmware.
As soon as the money check bounces into my account. I'm ordering one, or eve two...
