IDE/ATAPI to SCSI Converters Reviewed
Anonymous Coward writes "Seems that someone has finally come out with IDE/ATAPI to SCSI converters to bridge the gap between the high-cost SCSI world and the low-cost IDE world. Addonics is the company and LinuxHardware.org has a full review of these two devices. The review does a good job of laying out installation and performance. These are just what I've been looking for and although a little pricey, they seem to do the job."
HAHAHA! Someone fell for my troll, probably an editor! Wasted 2 karma points instantly modding me down to zero! w00t! All your karma belong to me!
I want to delete my account but Slashdot doesn't allow it.
This isn't really possible. Many devices that use the PCI 2.1 specification require a certain speed to transmit the data they process. ISA simply doesn't not have the ability to transmit the data at that rate. This would lead to system crashes, lockups and even a degration in your system performance.
Why has an IDE to SCSI adapter taken so long to come out? Because now IDE can transmit data at the same rate - if it would have come out any sooner it would just have created more headaches.
To make a pun demonstrates the highest understanding of a language
