There is a controller put out by a company called Perlin Electronics, I believe called the Megaboard. It can control up to a 64MB ST506 hard disk. The last price I saw on it was around $200.00 (board only). They advertised in inCider or A+ a while ago. I don't have an address or phone number handy but I'll try to dig one up. I have never seen one of these boards, or heard from anyone who has used one... Rich <jordan%lvva.span@sds.sdsc.edu> BIX: richjordan (Rarely there) GEnie: BARRACUDA
