I would be interested in more info on the Megaboard which allows PC hard disks on the apple. Regards, Allan

I have sent away for information on the mega-board. I will let
you know what I find out.
I do know that for 200 dollars it really is not a good buy, unless you have
some ibm hard disks with power supplies just gathering dust.

I have several friends who have ordered Megaboards from Perlin Electronics.
The company itself (as expected) is extremely unprofessional. Theres one
guy and an answering machine. He sends out to have the boards burned and
then sends them out. In two totally seperate instances, its taken him over
2 months to fill a prepaid money order and a COD cash order. Thats certainly
not professional. Its claims: yes, it works nicely with a ST506 hard drive.
But if you have to go out and buy a NEW ST-506 IBM hard drive, a megaboard,
and a power supply (not to mention a case for the whole thing) for a 20mb
hard drive: $200 megaboard $250 20mb $50 power supply $50 case. here you
have spent $550. Go buy a Chinook, Sider, or better yet a CMS. For a little
more your getting a full, professional, reliable package (the megaboard
has "6 months of support" - yeah, right...the guy is never there and almost
never returns calls.
