I dunno about SCSI, but I have a card here that's got an SD card slot
on one side and a IDE connector on the other.  Mark (retroclinic) sold
it me at Byte Back for about a tenner I think.  I got it for the
A5000, which it works in, but it wouldn't share the IDE bus with the
existing drive, so I couldn't copy stuff over, and I've never got back
around to trying to sort it out.  Maybe whomever makes that makes a
scsi version too ...
