Could someone please post more info on the article in the German magazine that
told how to hook up a standard XT drive and controller to the ST!  Several
people in my user's group are very interested in this prospect.  I understand that a circuit board and some driver software are all that is needed.  I also 
heard that with some patches the system could now autoboot also.  So what's the 
catch other than the fact that you don't have access to your DMA port?  
Is this thing slower than using a Berkley board and Adaptec controller?  
What magazine did it appear in (Name and Issue) and would anyone who reads 
German be willing to translate the article to English?  Help!!!!!
