	Greetings. I already know what a ST-406 is (6MB 99ms)
	Now, someone told me that the SASI interface is a relative
	of SCSI. Does anyone know if I can hook up a hard drive
	to the ST506 side and the SASI side to a Macintosh and
	expect this to work? 

	The controller is a Xebec 10426 (or 104527). It's just a
	PC board that has a 50-pin SASI input and outputs for 2
	ST-506 drives. Can I expect this to work a _little_ with
	a Mac or will I most likely see smoke?

	(By the way, anyone want the St406? I want the stepper out
	of it (~$15.00 in surplus stores) but if someone pays me
	more than that, it's yours :-) Plus shipping. No, you can't
	use it with an AT...)

	Take care.

	P.S. Also looking for a cheap S100 card cage. Preferably
	12 or more slots. Power supply not needed (you can keep it :-)
	I plan to use a switcher (1200Watt :-) Must be cheap but in
	good shape. E-mail with quote on shipping if interested in
	selling.
