Acard SCSI to IDE adapters

[curtis]

Was wondering, is there a particular SCSI to IDE bridge that is preferred over others?

I have a 7720UW and it works fine, but was considering adding another and noticed the "UW" is a bit pricey while there is a AEC-7722 SCSI Bridge IDE to LVD that is significantly less.

Would the 7722 work okay for a SCSI to IDE to CF adapter?

Being retired and on a fixed income and budget, not real enthused about buying something just to try it out!

If I'm fairly certain it would work I would consider it.

Not knowing...

The 7722 is a LVD(low voltage differential) bridge,which is not used as single ended scsi like the 7720uw is. I don't think it will work,but i haven't tried it. Try one if you can and let us know.

Narrow 50pin scsi on A2000 will max out under 10MB/s, gvp being much slower and blizzard 2060 or DKB wildfire prob. giving the best performance. you would gain nothing over the 7720U or UW bridges.

Oh well.  Would've been nice to save about half of what another 7720 will cost.
