An additional ST506 can be added without additional hardware/software.
If that isn't big enough, the XDC box is cheaper than a SCSI board.
Call the people below to see what drives work with it.

East Coast Computer Systems is an offical AT&T VAR. They sell both the
73263 and 73282 SCSI cards. I think you need the former. It includes
the SCSI connect kit. They also sell LARGE SCSI drives. Ask if others
will work. They are at 1-800-ECCS-INC.

No. But if you have a problem that we determine is not our equipement
we stop working on it unless you wanna pay. If you buy it from the people
above, or any other authorized VAR they handle support for you (our
techs though).
