  ST-412/506 type drives MUST use an SCSI controller to communicate with your
scsi HOST ADAPTER. I am currently putting such a beast together useing a 20mb
3.5 inch hard drive. The controller I am using is an ADAPTEC ACB4000a. This
controller will allow you to run 2 drives from it. So you would effectivly have
a 20 meg system. If I may I recommend you talk to Jeff at sunnyvale memories
at 1-800-262-disk. or inside california 1-800-922-disk. He sells the 4000a
for aprox 165 bucks. The ACB4000a is a fully SCSI hard disk controller with
a 50 pin interfaceing cable. Of course after you put the drive system together
you have to have something to talk to it. The least expensive host adapter
out at the time is the Cltd. SCSI interface. I belive it was designed with
the adaptec series in mind. (I only leafed thru the manual at the local store
so Im not sure about that last one.) Any brave soul KNOW what type of
Controller the Cltd drive uses??
