I would like to put in in a Tandy 1000SX (just to get some use out of it), if possible. My problem: the drive comes with a full-length HD controller. Can I substitute a plain-ol ST506 HD controller?. THE problem: Tandy's #$%@:&* short slots in the SX. Will appreciate any & all help/suggestions/advice. Bob M., Penn State-Harrisburg
