Hey Wendell, I've notice you work with people that do hackery quackery things like the horrible abomination that's next to Logan. Anyway, I noticed the magic lantern community that can turn a $400 DSLR on eBay (the Canon 50D) into a god-like machine that can shoot raw video, but the problem is you can only record raw from Compact Flash and you need Cards that are really fast and hold a lot of data and the cheapest Compact Flash solution for raw video is the Transcend Ultimate 128GB, but it's $370 and you're only recording 20 minutes of footage from that one $370 card. I don't know about you, but paying $370 for 128GB doesn't make much economic sense. So, I've been thinking, there are people that convert a CF Card to PATA, but not the reverse. I've looked at CF to PATA adapters and there's no ICs to do digital conversion and it just ampilfies the CF single so older computers can read it. The way I'm thinking about making a SATA SSD work on a DSLR with just Compact Flash is to get a standard SSD, a SATA to PATA adapter with some sort of power source mounted on the tripod dock or something (has to support the ATA-7 bandwidth and disc size) and use some resistors so you don't fry your 5-year-old camera and mod a CF Card.
I think this is doable, if not by a hacked up method I just described, I'm sure at least some guy will designe a device that allows you to connect a SATA SSD to a Compact Flach Device. I like what you all are doing, keep up the excellent work!
