Just discovered this company, Mountain Secure Systems, that produces a line of SATA-to-SCSI enclosures for legacy systems, the "Andes Series SCSI Interface to SATA Conversion". There is not any obvious way to purchase just a single unit, or even to see how much they are, so I doubt they'd be willing to sell to hobbyists like us, but I would be curious to try one out. Has anyone used one of these (or one like them) before? Has this been discussed already? Is this a whole thing and I'm just unaware of it? :p

Their main selling point seems to be the drives' ruggedness, which implies use in military/aviation/aerospace scenarios, so perhaps a bit overboard for a vintage home computer! It seems you can contact them for a "demo unit", but I would imagine you'd have to send it back at some point.

I’ve messaged the company and they referred me to a distributor.

I emailed that distributor and they asked me for a quantity in order to quote a cost. I’ll reply back if I ever get a response.
