[misc.wanted] Using ST-506 hard disks on the Mac

otto@tukki.jyu.fi (Otto J. Makela) (09/15/89)

We have an extra 20M (ex-ibm-pc) MiniScribe 3.5" hard disk at work.  The
interface is the PC standard ST-506 (you know, wide cable and narrow cable
and power, just like an ESDI drive).  I'm interested in knowing, does anyone
know of a do-it-yourself kit OR a ready-made interface to get this to work
with an ancient MacPlus (actually upgraded Mac512, thus no SCSI port) ?
Alternatively, can anyone point me to articles etc. discussing such things ?
I'm not afraid of gutting the machine or the CPU board, since I've done that
already a couple of times...
