Does anyone have information (or a pointer to info) on the built-in hard
disk interface on the Commodore Colt?  The interface is supposedly Seagate
compatible (Commodore sticks in an ST-125 or equiv. if I'm not mistaken)
but the connector on the motherboard is 40 pin, not 34 pin.  I really don't
relish the thought of spending $400 for $280 parts I can obtain myself and
install myself.  Essentially, what I need is the pin definitions.

I am intending to play around with using the Colt as a sort of server for
my C128D.  Has anyone had any experience with this?

*Any* comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated; keep 'em on the
net for all to prosper by (mail only if you need to).
