A hardware question:
I have access to some ST506 36MB hard disks and I was wondering
if there is any way to use these on my mac. Does anyone know of any mac
upgrades or if the new Mac SCSI port would help???
Please - lots of detail - I am not a hardware person, and don't really
understand what all of these acronyms mean.
Merry Christmas,
Lewis.

Does anyone know of any mac > upgrades or if the new Mac SCSI port would help??? > ST506 (as I understand it) is a low level disk interface. The easiest way to use a disk with an ST506 interface is to purchase any one of a large number of disk controllers. A typical disk controller presents a SCSI interface for control from the host and uses the ST506 interface to control the disk. For the host end, the MacSCSI port would be just the ticket. -- Ephraim Vishniac [apollo, bbncca, cadmus, decvax, harvard, linus, masscomp]!wanginst!vishniac vishniac%Wang-Inst@Csnet-Relay
