Greetings from the US to the Netherlands bom.cabedal....

I have seen SCSI to solid state converter cards on ebay but they were expensive.  I believe around $250.00 US dollars.

I bought this compact flash to SCSI card, but have yet to install it or use it so I do not know if it is any good or not.  It  cost about $125.00 US dollars to ship to US.  It comes from Japan:

It fit perfect on the plastic HD sled in my color classic. You need software tools to format and init the CF card.  I believe you can not use Macintosh tools to do this.  You need 3rd party software. (someone correct me if I am wrong).

You can buy a name brand SanDisk 4GB to 8GBs or larger compact flash card on Amazon USA for about  $20.00 plus postage:

I do not know if this will work or not, but it only cost $5.00:

You can also buy very expensive, but perhaps longer lasting CF cards like this one:

I suspect you can buy CF and micro SD cards locally.

Keep us posted on your project.
