I just obtained a Seagate ST-506 hard disk at a fairly good price, and I am
now faced with the prospect of interfacing it to my Radio Shack Color
Computer running OS-9.  I don't expect to find any Color Computer hard disk
interfaces for sale in the aftermarket, so I would like to hack up a
home-brew CoCo-bus-to-generic-hard-disk interface.  A hard disk controller
using the SASI bus would be fine, if it can handle the ST-506 signals, but
I will entertain any controller which could be hooked up to the CoCo bus
(pretty vanilla, but non-standard) using a minimum of extra logic.  Low
cost is an important consideration, though I may have to compromise here.

Anyone have any suggestions for a controller?
Anyone recommend any particular companies (manufacturers or distributors)?
Anyone want to buy an unused ST-506 Winnie? (heh, heh, just kidding, so far...)
