	Actually, no. The best you can do is get a SCSI adapter and hook
it to an Adaptec SCSI ESDI controller. Commodore makes the only ST506
controller for the Amiga, the A2090(A). Aside from this, every Amiga
hard disk adapter is SCSI. Why? SCSI is the cheapest adapter to build,
that's the main reason.
