All the SCSI hard drives in my Macs have died a while ago or have made somewhat strange noises that may be signaling death.

I've replaced all of them with CF cards and 2.5" ATA drives a few years ago, using special adaptors designed for SCSI PowerBooks. Fast and quite reliable. Still running 24/7 as a server. Are there any other cheaper ways of using CF cards instead of a special (and expensive) CF-SCSI adaptor?

BTW: in reply to jroger, I actually do have a SSD (CompactFlash) in an LC II
