Converter from SCSI2 to Firewire?

[Jose]

I found plenty adapters allowing computers(mac/windows) with Firewire to use SCSI. Some said to be Firewire to SCSI others SCSI to firewire, but they all give SCSI connectivity to Firewire.

I also found one or two SCSI ultra to Firewire. This was hard to find and now I lost the link :-D But it doesn't matter, would this be usefull for Cyberstorm owners? Doesn't it require firewire support on the OS? Maybe the adapter allowed storage devices to appear as SCSI ones. I don't remember and don't think so, but it would be usefull, does anyone know anything?

Now what I'd really like would be a SCSI2 to Firewire, allowing Firewire connection in the A1200. The adapter would need to make the device appear as a SCSI storage device I think. Anyone knows anything, or commnents would be nice.

I don't know much about firewire, but I do know a lot of cyberstorm owners don't actually have SCSI drives - they use a IDE-SCSI converter to use cheap PC drives without the limitations of IDE. So wouldn't a IDE->firewire converter be better?

Maybe, but for the A1200 a converter that plugged into the existing fast IDE controlers would be cumbersome.

What I'd like to do is connect my camcorder's firewire port to the A1200 and directly record the image to the HD. Of course the A1200 would not be used to process anything at least while recording.
But I think DV is not the same as MPEG2 so if DV has less compression it's uselless anyway.
Why I'd like to do it? Well, an A1200 with SCSI2 is usually cheaper than a laptop, so for just recording it would be enouph, with say an 80Gb Hd.
Crazy idea isn't it?
