There is a controller put out by a company called Perlin Electronics, I
believe called the Megaboard. It can control up to a 64MB ST506 hard disk.
The last price I saw on it was around $200.00 (board only). They advertised
in inCider or A+ a while ago. I don't have an address or phone number handy
but I'll try to dig one up.

I have never seen one of these boards, or heard from anyone who has used one...
