I sincerely doubt that a straight pin-pin connection can be made from the Atari DMA port to a SCSI disk controller. There would appear to be enough differences in signal level and handshake proto's that it would not work. Use the BMS1000 interface board from Berkeley Micro Systems in California. Their ads appear in Current Notes (Washington Atari Computer Enthusiasts newsmagazine) and in STart. I have no connection with BMS except as a VERY HAPPY customer. -- Walt Weber PHONE: (617) 256-6600 x7004 Apollo Computer GENIE: W.WEBER Chelmsford, People's Republic of Massachusetts
