I know that the hard drives that are usually sold for the Ami are SCCI type, however, I have a good ST-506 (20 meg) gathering dust and was wondering if there exists a controller that will work with this IBM extraction. I also have a power supply for the drive/controller. Thanks. Art Todesco att!ihlpf!alt One option is the Amiga 2090a controller. It will control the IBM ST-506 type drives with no problems. It is made however to plug into the Amiga 2000 expansion slot. I have a friend that has an Amiga 500 with an expansion chassis on his and is using the 2090a controller and all is well....
