Hey goose.  Those are being sold by a member here by the name of Mechy.  I remember talking to him about those things and the way it works is this;

- If you hook it up to the SCSi connector on the motherboard, you can use the CF reader as bootable AND install a PCMICA to CF reader in the PCMCIA slot fpr a second drive.

- If you hook it up to any other SCSI port, you can only use the PCMCIA slot.

I might be getting that mixed up though so drop a PM to Mechy, he'll set it all right. ;)

Well, I don't claim to be an expert when it comes to SCSI. ;)

But after looking over his website I remembered it had to do with LUNS.  The PCMICIA slot can be setup WITHOUT LUNS while the actual CF (and all the other slots) NEED LUNS.

That was the big difference.  You could use the slot with an adapter w/o LUNS support.  What does and doesn't have LUNS, how LUNS works and what LUNS is...  I don't know...  But I do know that was the deciding factor of which parts could and couldn't be used...

Again, PM Mechy, I could be recalling a bad hallucination FAIK...:roflmao:
