Brian, I've done something similar with my Amiga 2000.  I'm using a 
SCSI-IDE bridge connected to an IDE-CF adapter.  Works great.

I'm using a Focus IDE controller in my IIe to run my bbs 
(telnet://aor.retroarchive.org).  I'm using a ProDOS formatted 128MB CF 
card instead of a drive though.

What OS rev has drivers for the USB card and ethernet controller?  I would 
love to have the ability to put my A2000 on the net.
