I have a 5 1/4 seagate ST225 MFM 20mb hard drive which came out of a PC and I
want to use it on my Amiga ( Its an A500 but has Zorro II slots ).

I can also lay my hand on a PC MFM half-length controller card, but I still
need the interface to the Amiga.

In the states, I believe that there are at least 3 options available (but none
as far as I know in the UK.) these are a kit called MAX from Palomax, the 
HDA-506 from Spirit technologies and ALF from Pre'spect Technics.

Does anyone have any of these (or anything similar) for sale ?

If anyone out there has built the PALOMAX kit, I'd be interested in buying the
schematics and software from them.

Please reply via EMAIL to igreenaw@hemel.bull.co.uk or post reply on the net.

Thanx in advance
