speaking of IDE, does anybody know of a good SCSI target that lets you
plug in 1 or more IDE drives to it?  I have some older unix oriented
hardware that I'd love to put boatloads of disk on, yet find IDE's
price advantage so much greater than SCSI...  Since I can almost get
2x the disk space with IDE than for similar SCSI (I know the SCSI is a
little faster/better higher quality, which is why I said similar),
this might be a viable option.

Unfortunately, thinking about what it would take to build such a beast
makes me fear that it would be >> $200.
