There are SCSI interface based flash drives that I've successfully 
installed into 9100's.   I have used several sizes, including 256MB, 
512MB and 1024MB (although anything higher than approx 360MB suffers 
from the disk being too large for some of the 9100 utilities same as the 
platter based SCSI drives.)

My most recent experiments have been with SCSI "adaptors" that allow the 
use of PCMCIA flash cards.    Some success so far, but I've not had time 
to fully test them as of yet.  

The cheapest and easiest replacement however, is to get a tested working 
SCSI harddrive - lots of the ones from old Macs are available on eBay 
and are cheap.
