I found several Seagate ST-225N (not 255) drives at about $380. They are 65 ms drives. I also saw "Adaptec"(?) SCSI to ST-506/412 adaptor boards ranging in price from $100 to $300. These boards seem to be a reasonable alternative, although I have no technical data on them, to building your own. The prices for 506/412 interface drives is very low compared to Mac only drives. Does anyone have any further data on the adaptors? I'll collect responses and post later. -- Peter Martin WD9HAD NORMAL MODE: uw-beaver!ssc-vax!ssc-bee!martin ABNORMAL MODE: 206-773-4270 WEEKEND MODE: 206-631-3304 >>> SCCA Flagging and Communications worker <<<
