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.
