The September Issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal describes an implementation
of a $500 Hard Disk for the Mac.  It involves purchasing a hard disk,
SCSI controller, and building an interface board to plug into the
ROM sockets.  Sounds like a great idea for the adventuresome.

Does anyone know any cheap mail order sources for the required
NCR5380 chip and a SCSI ST506 compatible controller, e.g. XEBEC S1410?

It seems that 5M and 10M Winchesters are easily available from such
places as California Digital and Priority One.
