Default IDE disks in an F50

Hello World,

I need more space. On my RS/6000 F50. However, my supplier only has
titchy 9GB disks at the price I'm willing to pay, and I want MORE!!!1!
So I though of using one^Wtwo of these things:

http://www.addonics.com/products/io/ide_scsi.asp

It's basically a small print that fits on the back of a (nice big) IDE
harddisk, and turns it into a SCSI disk. I would have to dismantle two
of my current 9GB disks to do this. I'm sure IBM CEs turn pale when you
show it to them, like when you suggest using third-party memory in your
P5 systems, but I think It Should Work(tm).

Has anyone in this august group ever done such a thing?

Cheers,
Menno
