Does anyone know of a way do hook up a ide/ata hard drive to a 50 external scsi. They are so much cheaper than scsi drives. My 6100 only has "nubus" slots so all of the pci cards are out.

For anyone that is interested you can get an external box for ide drives that have 50 scsi out from acard.com for around a $100. Model #s ARS2000/ARS2000UB

These two companies (Australia and Japan) have an interesting solution to adding cheap IDE to existing SCSI Macs that do not have PCI slots.

SCSI to IDE converstion is very simple. IS possible, and by the replies here, i hope the guys that made the original post didnt get discouraged.
Summary: As far as I know, there are no "kit plans" to build an IDE to SCSI converter (or SCSI to IDE, depending on how you look at it); the only thing that comes close are PCI slot cards to which you conn...
