Look, this is a bit of a con, right, but this will be the third time I have posted a similar query, and there just ain't anyone biting. So come on guys, mail me something. My qury is this, and it's short and sweet, and there are a lot of Simple: has anyone any experience of linking up a cheap, say Seagate hard drive to a SCSI Amiga Controller and thence into a simple A500, saving about $300 in the process. There seems to be an assumption that it would be possible, but has any one actually done it? What are the products you used? Does it work? What are the pitfalls? Me and Jay Hoeflinger want to know, so post or email - I'll summarise the email. If I get any. Sigh. Help me, halp me, hlep mi, hlep, hlepp... Thanks Phil Gladwin phg@uk.ac.cam.cl phg@cl.cam.ac.uk

Dunno if this will help, but....
A friend of mine (pv0b+@andrew.cmu.edu) found a company which converted
a Seagate drive for the Mac SCSI controller. They may/may not be able
to do the same for you. I don't know the cost, but I got the impression
it was a CHEAP alternative to buying Mac ready stuff. Send her e-mail
if you're interested, and say that Shawn sent you (otherwise she'd begin
to wonder why she was getting e-mail from people she never heard of).
