Emax Compact Flash

I think many of us would like this option and so I am seriously  
thinking about taking a plunge here.

Proposed Idea:

Get a SCSI to IDE converter ($40 on ebay) - up to $80 off online stores
Get a CF to IDE converter ($2-10$)

Connect them and see if that combo of the two works.
Has anyone tried this combo already and it not work?

If so- say something. If not I will probably move forward with this  
later this week.

Reasoning:

These are easily available for anyone on the group that would like  
the ease of use now.
The expense isn't that great, and you wouldn't have the concern of  
whether or not the used one off ebay worked, and also if used item is  
read-only.

I have a standard pc floppy (modified circuit) with a bracket in my  
emax. I would keep the floppy in so I can add banks easily from the  
emax, etc....

Think about it- no hard drive or zip drive to fail, only the flash  
(and availability of floppy)....
I hear quicker bank loading time....

All this sounds great. And there would be no extra holes, or card  
slots that aren't used, etc....

Regards,
Ted
