Those are good but the main problem lies in the price - they are too expensive for most people to justify buying. Many old Macs are aquired for free or very cheap so to spend £60 or £70 on drive adaptors doesn't seem right. It would be good if such adaptors fell to around a quarter of their current price, then I reckon more people would buy them and in greater quantities.Choose one of those. A mini IDE solid state disk or CF-IDE adapter combined with a 2,5" IDE-SCSI bridge should do well. 1,8" to 2,5" IDE adapters are also available. Even a CF-SCSI adapter in 2,5" hdd form factor is available at times.
edit: today I tested a Stratos CF PowerMonster for the first time. Now a Color Classic happily boots from a tiny CF card
