Anyone know a source of SCSI to Compact Flash adaptors?

And how viable would it be too run an old Mac from CF?

Best of luck, CF is a form of IDE, and IDE does not make an easy conversion to SCSI. I've seen some mods where they take a CF card, put it through a custom circuit and a normal IDE controller can read it. If you're serious about this your best bet would be to look into something like that, then look into SCSI to IDE conversion. I might be mistaken but I think this will require some custom driver writing. Best of luck.
