Something {I'm nitpicking so bear with me} A ST-506 to SCSI interface would be extremely complicated and unneccesary. Imagine having to interpret head step lines, and read/write commands in real time and sending the apprpriate SCSI command to the drive. And sending the data in MFM or RLL as the case may be. A SCSI to ST-506 interface would be a lot easier to build and quite a few are on the market. Again, I am just nit-picking. No malice is intended what so ever.
