I have a SCSI2SD and love it. The only annoyance is not being able to write directly onto HFS volumes in Sierra. A lot of my archive is stashed on my modern Mac, and the vast majority of the vintage stuff I work with is pre-HFS+. I can mount the various HFS formatted SCSI2SD volumes in my modern Mac but they are read only.
I could move some of my software archive to my OS 9 MDD, which is the only other machine I have with a hard drive big enough to handle dozens of GB. It would be nice if I could then read and write directly to the micro SD card in my OS 9 mac, which has USB but no SCSI interface. If I plug a USB SD card reader into an OS 9 mac, will the drives mount? The OS 9 mac has no trouble reading various other hard drives and flash drives with a USB interface. (My current SD card reader is a USB-C unit so I would have to spend the princely sum of $20 on a plain USB SD card reader to do this, I can't just plug one in and try it.)
The MDD does have an OS X boot option, if that makes a difference, but it is buggy and I almost never use it. I can't even remember what flavor of OS X it runs - probably 10.2 or similar.
One of these days I will get a G3/G4 era mac set up with both SCSI and USB but that is not this day.
