+**CLPC-CFSxSI101** is special because it is the only one which can be used in native SASI or SCSI mode. All previous adapters only work in SCSI mode. It is made in Japan, works with CF cards and can be purchased from [[http://classicpc.org/cpc_cf-sxsi.html|Classic PC Rescue Committee]]'s home page.
