Now that I've got a Microbotics StarDrive SCSI interface installed in my
A1000 I have a couple more questions.

1.  The interface has a DB25 female connection (Mac standard  :-( ) for
    connecting the hard disk.  I can find many SCSI disks for sale but
    few Max external drives that are reasonably priced.  Any ideas on where
    I can obtain a decent shielded DB25 to SCSI cable?  I could hack one that
    would eventually work - but I'd rather spend my time porting a Minix
    hard disk driver.

2.  I received a copy of a posting by Jeff Lavin (?) about a serial and parallel
    port hardware kit that was described in the Feb 90 issue of Amazin Amiga.
    As the oldest issue I could find was March, I can't even get the address
    of the folks doing this.  Does anybody have the phone number?  Has anyone
    actually installed it and gotten it to work?

Thanks,
Bill Vodall
