- you can always use something like the emulex md21 scsi/esdi converter board.
- If you can get a decent price for the esdi drive, sure sell it and buy a proper
- embedde scsi drive, but if you can't (and esdi seems to be pretty out of
- style nowdays, making selling them not all that easy) then a converter
- board if the way to go (the emulex gives about 1Mb/sec which isn't too
- sabby)
