What I'ld love to find is a SCSI to IDE card or controller.  Anyone know of 
such a device?  

I think it is possible and practical concidering the size of IDE and cost of 
SCSI drives.  The drive would benefit from the SCSI bus so while it may not 
be as fast as a true SCSI drive, It would be faster than an IDE only system 
with most of the features of SCSI.  

Plus large drives can be added and mirrored or striped by the controller for 
fault tolerance with the new IDE chipsets.  This would extend the life of 
computers like the VAX that has SCSI but not worth what the latest SCSI 
drives cost new.
