Yamaha do a SCSI to IDE interface card that piggy-backs onto their CD and
DVD IDE-bus drives, allowing them to be used as full SCSI drives. I don't
know if this interface converter works with drives from other makes or how
well these converter/drive combinations work in Suns but it works fine
under FreeBSD on an x86 PC box.
