The only way I know of to hook a standard SCSI interface board to an ST via the DMA port is to buy the Berkeley Micro Systems' hard disk interface board. This is a board which, when hooked to the ST DMA port, gives subset of the SCSI standard port. One can hook a SCSI hard drive to this port, or can go further by then hooking a SCSI-to-ST506/ST412 interface. This would allow hookup of IBM-PC style hard drives. While we're on the subject of drives, just WHO has gotten a 5.25" drive working on the ST? Would anyone like to mail me the pinouts to make a cable and the modifications required to the mechanism? I don't want to hook it up inside an ST drive, I'd like to plug it in to the back of one. -- Dean Brunette {ucbvax,etc.}!hplabs!oliveb!olivej!dragon Olivetti Advanced Technology Center _____ _____ __|__ _____ 20300 Stevens Creek Blvd. | | _____| | | Cupertino, CA 95014 |_____| |_____| |__ |_____
