I have seen a bunch of messages floating around about how to transfer 8-bit
files to an ST.  Is there ANYBODY who knows of a way to connect an 8-bit drive
DIRECTLY to an ST?  In my case; an Indus GT (god I loved that drive), Mega 2,
where the external drive connector is not being used.  I'm guessing this is
impossible because of transfer rates, protocols, etc., but thought it better
to ask than to guess wrong.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
