[NCLUG] USB to IDE adapters ?

[Gabriel L. Somlo]

Another thing, possibly more realistic, would be a USB card that would
go into the PCI bus, and would have an on-bord bios thing much like
the bootable SCSI cards do, so one could force the machine to boot from
a USB drive regardless of the capabilities of the mobo's bios...

Is there something like that out there ?

Thanks,
Gabriel
