If you're talking about the DB8/1 or the DB8/2 S-100 box, I 
believe you should be able to hook it straight to the box, 
provided you have a controller.  I have a Dynabyte DB8/1 on which 
I run a Fujitsu 20 megabyte 8" drive.  I have a spare 10 megabyte 
if you want it.  Also, by the way, if you indeed have a DB8/1 (or 
DB8/2, which version of the BIOS are you running?  Give me a buzz 
at the number below.
