Is there any possibility of running a cube or station off of solid state memory?

on other old machines (mostly macs) SCSI 2 IDE adapter are used, then ide 2 flash. But SCSI2IDE adapters are a bit expansive.

Looks like there are some things out there, like
http://www.reactivedata.com/Products/SCSI_Bridge_Emulators_to_CF/SCSI_1,2_50pin_Disk_Drive_Emulator_to_CF/index.php... forgive my ignorance, but would a disk image from an existing bootable drive work if copied to such a device?  Isn't there a 2GB limit (SCSI front porch error)?

EDIT:  Looks like someone has posted info on this subject in the "New Technologies" section.

Since LC macs and next are more or less from the same period, I suppose the solution also applies for next...
