How's come nobody has done a Raspberry PI GPIB "Hat", with a real

Is there a lack of I/O pins, or power?

I've wondered the same for SCSI hard drive adapters to be able to
upgrade older equipment to IDE/PATA/SATA hard drives.?

Has anyone designed an open source MCU/SBC based SCSI adapter for modern
hard drives that is open source and doesn't require a translator?
The SCSI2SD is reported to work well.

I've been meaning to read into the difference between the protocols of the SCSI PATA adapters for CD-ROM drives and hard drives since I see there are on the market adapters that are more cost effective for those devices.?

Wondering and thinking that there is some sort of firmware modification to enable... otherwise I guess some other circuit with chip is required.?

Guessing is just a firmware mod however there might be something more complex with the linked list data structure of read/write protocol and needing a SOIC.
