There was talk on the net about 2 months ago about trying to use a CMS SCSI
card and a Seagate ST251N hard disk to make an inexpensive hard disk system
for the Apple // family. Has any one had any luck with this? If there is any
information out there on this could you send me what you have? I would like to
get an inexpensive hard disk (60meg or greater) and hook it up to my GS, using
a SCSI card, (I heard the CMS card came with hard disk software(?)) and produce
a 80 meg hard disk system for around $1200 where a comparable system made by
some others, (60 meg) would cost around $2000. I am taking the responsiblity of
putting my own power supply and case for the setup but saving some major $$'s.
