RE: [OT] DVD ripping using multiplke firewire drives ?

["JT @ Home" <Jonathan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have an old 'discport cd rom' server thing - is a bit old and clunky,
anyway, I've ripped out the network card on the back and am left with 2x
50pin scsi cables. Which, I have the intention of soldering some female
edge
connectors to, popping a couple of scsi cards in my pc and connecting it
all
up to rip cd's.



However, im sure one can purchase scsi dvd rom drives for a reasonable
cost,
so, could something like this be used? - or are the cost of scsi dvd drives
prohibitive?



Regards

Jonathan.

Morning - I had a look at the powerfile but I don't think you can mount
DVD's on it for ripping out of the box. Powerfile do seel a SDK but its
$$$.

I know Kaleidescape use them to batch import movies though via a shuttle PC
so it must be possible somehow. If you could get around that it would be
perfect - even better if a few people could club together to get a
'solution' together.
