    Is it possible to fit an IDE controller card into an Ultra 80 so an IDE
    based DVD writer could be attached? I'm not really bothered about disks,
    only a DVD would be nice.

    I know you can get SCSI to IDE converters, but there are quite a few
    reports of these not being too good, and causing problems. I'm wondering
    if any Sun hardware uses an IDE controller chip that I could find on a
    PCI card, and so add IDE support?
