What are people doing these days to put SATA drives in old 68K Macs that only have internal SCSI?
In my PowerMac 7300, I just put an IDE PCI card in there, then use a cheapo IDE to SATA inline board to run that machine off of a 2.5" SATA laptop style drive. A drive that is dirt slow in a modern Mac but is insanely fast for the late 90s
But if I get a 68K Mac to run as a suuuuuper low power web server project, I'd still want to run it off of a modern drive. But it's not going to have PCI slots.
I don't have a specific Mac picked out but lets say something like a Quadra 650. A few NuBus slots but no PCI. I assume there is no such thing as a NuBus/ATA-IDE card? When I google it, all I get is a link back to a very old post in this very forum.
Are there any solutions?
If there are solutions, are any of them sanely-priced?
If not, then am I really stuck with finding super old SCSI-2 3.5" hard drives that somehow haven't shit the bed yet?
