I've been offered a relatively cheap 10M disk, but will have to buy a controller and power supply for it. Is this going to be difficult? Also, am I really getting a good deal on the disk? I can pick it up for $150 (new, but I don't know the manufacturer). How much can I expect to pay for a controller and powersupply? Does the hard disk interface in the ST make this easy? Your comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= No problem is so formidable that you can't just walk away from it.
