Most Amigas either use or can use IDE/PATA. For those you can connect a 
decent CF card with only mechanical interface. My Amigas run on those 
for a long time already.

SCSI is more tricky. The only solution that I fond BOTH fast and 
reliable was an interface from ACARD that converts SCSI to PATA for - 
again - connecting a CF card. My OnyxSGI worked this way for some time 
as well as A3000. Combinations with SD card to PATA adapters also work 
reasonably well then. ACARD adapter is very good but quite expensive too.
