The Acard IDE-to-SCSI Bridge works great .
We use the AEC-7720U ($59 at dirtcheapdrives.com)
The card attaches to the back of an IDE drive, but extends 1.25"
to one side of a 3.5" drive, making placement a problem in a 255.
I use them on the back of IDE Mobile Docks which fit in the
CDROM bay or outboard, making a cheap hot-plug.
