I've got a couple of questions about Hard-drives and the Mega 2 ST.  The DMA
port on the back of my Mega is a 19 pin parallel type connector.  I've no
idea how hard-disks work having no experience with them, but I have heard
that most standard SCSI controllers have a 40 or 44 pin connector.  Is this
true?

If so, is there some special type of controller I would have to invest in to
get a HD to work on my machine?

Who makes the MegaFile drives and are they reliable (like Quantum drives)?

Etc and any other info you think I might need to know...

Thanks for any and all help.
