Someone earlier mentioned that they had found an ide drive which they wanted a ide to scsi converter. I am particualrily curious as to if anybody in this community would be interested in an IDE drive controller able to handle >4 drives (not in master/slave configuration) using completely physically seperate interfaces. I know that scsi is supposed to be better, but are SCSI drives (I mean the physical disk hardware) of higher quality or is it just the controller architecture that is deficient. It is unlikely that home users will just suddenly start buying mass quantities of scsi interface drives, so they will probably continue to be inproportionately expensive.
