I'm interested in getting a ST506 controller for my A1000.  I've seen a lot
of SCSI controllers, but none for the ST506.  The IBM drives are Soooo much
cheaper than Mac drives and looooaads cheaper than any Amiga house SCSI drives.

I've seen some suggestions for hardware hacks to put together an ST506 contrl.
but has anyone seen a commercial product?  What about a cable to an external
drive?  What would it look like next to my Amy?  Will it need a power supply?
Can I get DMA?

These questions and more are answered in upcoming articles on!
