I have been attempting to use the ACARD 7720U SCSI to IDE (set SCSI to 0 
- pull all jumpers from JP1) adapter, and while it works fine with IDE 
hard drives I can't get it to work with any of my various IDE44 to CF 
adapters and these write fine on the USB to IDE converter using Miray's 
HDClone...

HDClone standard version will create a working image of the 9100 hard 
drive that can then be dropped onto an IDE drive and substituted in the 
9100 base using the ACARD SCSI to IDE adapter - however writing the 
image to the CF doesn't work via the ACARD <-> (IDE <-> CF) adapters.

Anyone else have a different SCSI to CF setup that is working besides 
the AZTECMONSTER that Steve wrote about?
