OOPS - if they are ST-412, then they are not SCSI. SCSI drives are best identified by having a 50 pin header connector for the signal cable. They are not often (if ever) seen in sizes as small as 10 MB. Your drives are ST-506 compatible. Actually the ST-412 is also a semi-standard, the difference being a "buffered seek" capability. You should be able to find a controller that can use these drives. Keyword being ST-506. Some adapter boards are available to provide as SCSI interface for ST-506 drives, but you will need to spend $$$ otherwise unneeded. -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {ihnp4|seismo|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing arpa: cbmvax!grr@seismo.css.GOV Commodore, Engineering Department fone: 215-431-9255 (only by moonlite)
