Summary: what are the prospects??



I've had my Amiga for a good two years now, and I've been itching for a
hard drive the whole time.  My main problem is that I'm a poor college
student.  I have an old 10 meg hard drive(Sider) from my Apple ][+ days.
This hard drive uses a SASI interface, a precursor of SCSI.  My question
is, can I use this hd with any of the interfaces out today?  If not, what
would be the best buy in hard drives on the market for the Amiga?  My main
purpose will probably be running a multi-user BBS with a program of my own,
so a fast hard drive would be nicer.  A general run-down on all hard drives
would be nice as well, but I would be happy with pluses and minuses of your
own hard drives(or ones of friends, etc).  Another idea would be to get a
SCSI port bundled with some serial ports(I'll need those for the BBS), and
then getting a SCSI drive from some other origin(would I be able to buy a
mac or IBM SCSI drive??)  What are the prices of these port bundles? are
there any bundled with a hard drive and/or extra memory???


		Thank you for any replies, if anyone wants, I can post
a general summery of the replies I get to the net.
