I'm surprised that the others weren't more helpful on this. Adding ST-506 disks is easy -- just use the `idtools' disk available in the 3B2 Computer Maintenance Reference Manual, select code 305-395. This is a large book with all kinds of info on part numbers, switch settings, etc., plus the idtools diskette. It will format hard and floppy disks, do disk-to-disk copying, bad block mapping, surface verifications, and all those other low-level things you've always wanted to do. This thing costs around $50, and *everybody* should have this.
