Subject: Hard drive for Amiga 500

I'm interested in looking for an inexpensive hard drive system for my Amiga
500. I have access to some fairly inexpensive ST-506 compatible drives, and
would like to utilize an interface that will accept these. Speed is not of
importance, mass storage is.

I've read about SCSI drive controllers that have ST-506 converters that will
hook into them, I'm not particulary interested in those - since they usually
run more in the dollars range.

I have heard of a system called The Wedge. Although, in researching my back-
issues of Amiga mags, I have not been able to locate any information about
them. If anyone knows a phone number, I would appreciate it! 

Also, any other response on other alternatives for an ST-506 interface for
my Amiga please let me know either thru this net, or directly thru EMAIL to
me.

Another question, do the available ST-506 controllers go on the assumption
that the person has a Western Digital (or compatible) IBM drive controller
card? Or does it take place of this card totally?

Thanks in advance!!!
