A3000 SCSI to IDE Bridge - IDE CF Flash drive

[mcostanza]

I've been wanting to breath some new life into my old A3000. I'm looking to use a SCSI to IDE bridge in the A3000 then install a IDE CF drive to the IDE interface on the SCSI bridge.

Before I go down the road of buying the components, any reason why this would not work?

AFAIK no reason it shouldn't, many Amiga users have this same configuration. You should be able to get all the equipment you need from Mechware, down there in Texas near you:

I have an Acard scsi-ide bridge in my A3000 with an sdcard adapter and it works very well.

Should work just fine, I went to with the Acard SCSI to SATA bridge.  Couldn't be happier with it.  SATA SSD's are getting really cheap, for 50 bucks you get 60 gigs and autotrim.  Speedwise you won't see much of a difference, but capacity wise it is better.  I have 10 gigs of mp3's alone on the ssd.

If you ever upgrade to an accelerator, you will be happy you overspec'd the components.  I get 27mb/s with my CS MKIII and a OWC SATA SSD via the acard bridge.

If your going the cheapest way, don't needs gigs of data, and not going to add an accelerator... clearly the CF is the best option...
