They are ACard IDE to SCSI adapter sleds. They make 1" drives into full
height drives. I've tested an ATA-66 to UW SCSI in my Amiga since
September, and it's been flawless with a 120 gig IBM drive. In the
PowerMac, I have two ATA-133 to Ultra160 LVD, and they have not had any
issue in nearly a month of use. They also have 120 gig IBM drives. The
faster ones are model ARS-2000LFS, and cost about $80 apiece. Not a bad
deal - $220 for a 120 gig Ultra160 SCSI drives!
