I thought SCA was the Society for Creative Anachronism. I guess that does fit with running a modern OS like NetBSD on 68k Macs, though. :)

Good grief! That's bigger than I have in _any_ of my computers! Do a few bulk builds, do you? :) But I thought SCSI-IDE converters were fairly expensive in their own right. What about those 68-50 pin SCSI converters, are they reliable? Occasionally I get 68-pin SCSI drives that I can't use in my Macs. For that matter, I'd need converters for SCA drives too. I don't have that kind of money to dump into a hobby.
