Look at Front-X's stuff. I'm a happy user but they only provide a
5.25" offering.

They seem to be frozen in time.
No USB3, no 3.5" stuff.

Still, they're the only example of their
kind that I know of.

I hadn't thought of it as frozen in time but you're right. They
haven't updated their line in ages.

Why do so many good products die of neglect?

Same thing with BIOS Savior.

And that outfit that used to make adapter
kits for S370 to slocket.

There were some opportunities to adapt newer
processors (with quad pumped bus) to older
sockets, but nobody attempted to do it. In
theory, you could have adapted some LGA775 processors
to S478. But nobody seemed to be interested.
