I have a A1200 '060 w/ a half-full 2GB SCSI HD.  It's having issues.  I want to go to flash memory to avoid data loss, given how relatively little space the Amiga needs.

What's a good way to go.  Is this one component a good piece of the puzzle?

Thanks.

I got a compactflash to IDE converter from Vesalia.de with a Sandisk Extreme III 4gb compact flash card, formatted in 2 2gb partitions, and my A1200 boots almost instantly with it. Note that not all CF cards can be booted from.
I got some pdf from the internet which describes it all in detail.
Oh, and I haven't used scsi, just the onboard ide connector.
