The main use for these adapters is for ATA CD-ROM readers and writers, ATA tape drives, and so on, to be able to attach them to a SCSI bus. This is exactly what I do at home with one particular device, my Yamaha CRW-F1 CD-R/RW drive. It is actually an ATA device with a removable SCSI->ATA adapter. This allows me to have the pseudo-SCSI CRW-F1, a real SCSI DVD-ROM drive, a real SCSI ZIP drive, and a real SCSI DDS3 tape drive all on one rounded SCSI cable, which makes for a pretty tidy case. And I can run all of them simultaneously without performance problems. :-) Using these adapters for ATA Hard Drives probably wouldn't be as advantageous, though it would still work with the proper adapter. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon(at)wolves.k12.mo.us FreeBSD: The fastest, most open, and most stable OS on the planet - Available for IA32, IA64, AMD64, PC98, Alpha, and UltraSPARC architectures - PowerPC, ARM, MIPS, and S/390 under development - http://www.freebsd.org Q: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.
