	I believe you mean ST506, not ESDI.  Unless you have a non-standard
	controller on your 3b2.  Yes, you can get any PC Klone type
	hard disk that is 1024 cylinders - 8 heads or less, put it in a 
	standard drive cabinet/power supply meant for PC's, run stock
	34 / 20 pin ribbon cables to the jacks in the back of the 3b2,
	set the drive selects properly and remove the internal drive
	terminator, use the DEVTOOLS diskette to init the external
	drive, and you are up and running.
