I had seen this awhile back when the guy was originally offering just the cd ide adapter. He wasn't willing to sell to anyone outside of Russia though back then. Hopefully he has changed his mind after seeing there is money to be made.

Wow, that's awesome. Wonder why he wouldn't want to sell to non-ruskies?

actually he would sell outside Russia, just not without contacting him first.
A group buy was discussed, but demand wasn't that good

Any info I got on that SCSI was that they finished it, but it was never released, & probably not mass produced I would assume.  Maybe someone should just go & make one  :D

I completely agree, it would open up alot of possibilities.
