That's true - I previously used a SCSI to IDE adaptor in an EMU ESI2000.
It wouldn't work going through the normal format procedure, as the SCSI'd
IDE drive wouldn't respond to a SCSI Format command.
But there was a hidden option in the ESI to 'write file system only',
without doing the format instruction.
That worked perfectly for both IDE drives and CF on the SCSI adaptor.
YMMV.
