For those of you interested in the answer to the question "Is it 
possible to connect a drive (MFM or RLL) to an embedded controller on 
a SCSI drive without adding some extra hardware?" the answer is no.  
You must get at least an MFM-to-SCSI controller which, one person 
told me, costs around $150.  Or, from my experience, you need an 
Adaptec or OMTI controller to connect to the host adapter.  
Therefore, the cost, sans drive mech, would be around $100 for the 
Adaptec or OMTI controller.
 
If anyone knows anything different than this, please post it to the 
net because there are other people on here that are interested.
