- The problem right now with the Turbo IDE is the lack of
- external IDE drives. They are pretty standard for SCSI though.
-
- You can put an IDE drive in a SCSI case. They both use a 50
- pin ribbon connector on the back. I asked the designer of the IDE
- card to consider making a ribbon cable from the IDE card to a db-25,
- so you can use standard SCSI cables to attach the IDE drives. I think
- that will be the best in terms of getting cases. (Although there may
- be a little confusion at between the two)
