This is my first time posting to usenet, so please, no laughing. 

My question is, is it possible to connect a harddrive to a model III or model
IV without buying tandys $500 controller? tandy sells this 500 dollar controller
that connects to the 50 pin io connector on the bottom of the two machines.

I heard that the controller might be a Western digital, or a Xebec hard drive
controller. The Western digital is a model 1000 or model 1002 HDO.

Any info would be great if anyone has tried this, or knows anything about
doing something like this.

thanks

John Roberts
