SCSI2SD seems to be a reasonable candidate for solid-state SCSI these days. I don't own one but the Web searching I've done, and the few contacts I've had in the vintage community including old Apple Macs, seems to suggest this is something that functions and is available from a few sources. I'd like to hear more about it from others in our community, and of course if it's succcessful AND when it fails.
The problem with most of these hobby-class solutions, is when the person offering them or supporting them loses interest. Myself, I'm not interested in making PC boards and gathering parts, for this class of product - I want to buy it ready for use, but with software available and people working on it. With those criteria, $70 plus shipping is reasonable to me, and my impression is that it's made by a couple of people and one of them appears "commercial".
For "DEC" use, find various Web communities discussing this device and look for "DEC".

Herb, I have a couple, but I managed to remove the surface mount mini USB from one. I haven't made much use of it yet, but its completely open source so I could even make my own... Dave
