I don't know if this has been posted, but I was just looking at artmix's ebay auctions and he's got a 50 pin SCSI to SATA adaptor now! 8-o
I don't know why you posted this under "Compact Mac", it should probably be in "Hacks & Development" or "Peripherals".
Anyway; Yes, it seems like artmix have launched a new SATA-SCSI converter now. $149
The people over in the SCSI SSD Project thread should be happy now :beige:

Still using the Acard ARC-760 SCSI to ATA converter, with an IDE to SATA converter IC which are still plentiful on the market. I just wish the datasheet and programming/interface information for the ARC-760 was available on the net.
didn't think of posting it there, I don't think of that section of the board that often, buried down at the bottom...
Moved.
Yeah, late to the game - just discovered Acard makes a 2.5" SATA-to-50-pin SCSI adapter box that is the physical size of a 3.5" drive.
Thus, throw in your laptop drive (or SSD!) and get a conventional-3.5"-drive-size with 50-pin SCSI drive. If it wasn't $250, I'd snap a couple up!
Although I love that one of the selling points is "use cheap SATA drive with legacy equipment!" Uh, it's not that cheap once you add in the adapter! (But yeah, if you have an old industrial system that MUST keep running, it's cheaper than replacing the system.)
