I know, I bought a couple of those, crest and kullervo each have one.
But when you partition the disk as SCSI disk, you can create partitions 1,
2, 3, 4, 5, whatever you choose. If you partition as IDE, don't have to
create primary and secondary partitions if you want more than 4 partitions?
Does that map from SCSI partitioning to using as IDE disk?

Because USB treats the disk as SCSI disk again?
Its been a few years since I bought these adapters, maybe things have
changed. Or we make a test on the weekend :-)
