i remember talk to someone about a scsi raid device that used ide
drives. =) ie card looks and behaves like a scsi device, the card then
uses two *identical* ide divices to mirror for a single scsi disk device,
it was also aledgely tried to do cdroms as well, but i cant remember
if that worked or not =/

this is not the same thing, as your bus converters, but very useful
all the same, as it had an external scsi connector (honda 50)

yours,
