I am now entering the world of home brew HD. basically everyone has suggested that I get the ICD Host Adaptor so that is settled. 1) Can I hook up any SCSI drive to this adaptor(such as the N drives from Seagate) 2) What Controller card apart from the adaptec 4070 and 4000(a) work with standard HD mechs(non scsi). IS there a WD, Xebec or possible OMTI substitution 3) What turns out to be faster, an N series drive or a controller/HD combo. 4) Can someone post all the ram expansion boards out for the ST that allow for either 256k drams or 1 megabits. thanks for any and all help -Ajay Choudhri ins_bac@jhunix.UUCP ins_bac@jhunix.HCF.JHU.EDU .. !uunet!mimsy!aplcen!jhunix!ins_bac
