The best SCSI to IDE bridge for Blizzards?
« on: October 29, 2010, 03:51:31 PM »
I have a Blizzard 060 (with a Blizzard SCSI Kit IV):

and a Blizzard PPC 603e with onboard SCSI:

Now, I'm thinking about installing a SCSI -> IDE -> CF chain on both accelerators (inside their respective A1200s). I have read on this forum that this is a good way to go in order to speed up storage.
 
Only question is, what is the best SCSI to IDE bridge to use on each Blizzard? I see that Vesalia has 3 Acard models in stock, the AEC-7720U, the AEC-7720UW and the AEC-7730A:

Witch model would fit with with each Blizzard (060 and PPC)? Are these intercangable? Are there other and better solutions out there?
 
One more question. I'm thinking of going AmigaOS 4.1 when it arrives for the classic PPC, but will I be able to use it with Blizzard SCSI? As I understand 4.0 had no drivers for it, or am I wrong?
