I've asked this question before without ever getting an answer:
Besides then "general" problem of the cable, WHAT else is "wrong" with
the Apple ][ SCSI card?  If I get a SCSI drive (say a ST506 drive with
an Adaptec ST506 <-> SCSI card) and get the apropos cable, can I hook
it up to my Apple ][+ and run under ProDOS 8?  Will someone who has
done this (or at least tried it!) speak up?  PLEASE?

Also, does anyone have a cheap source for the either the Apple ][ SCSI card
or for the Adaptec ST506 <-> SCSI card?
