Someone had just posted an article on ST-506 controllers for the 1000 or 500
. I have been looking at the Spirit HD-506 controller for the 1000 and it will
use the OMTI controller and any ST-506 drive ( either RLL or MFM). The spec
sheet I have says that you can add a 1.3 autoboot ROM to it, but I cannot
confirm this. You may want to call Spirit and ask them about it.
Cost is about $200-$300 (lower price for mail order, retail is about $280)

Thanks,
Laszlo Gulyas
