I think what he's after has a USB input and an IDE output, so you plug
it into the motherboard interface of a RISC PS, and use USB discs.
I suspect the snag will be limitations on what IDE can handle. I think
there are significant limitations to disc size, and modern USB devices
will exceed that.
Better to get a Unipod or other USB podule and plug the disc into
that.
