My son has an Amiga 500, presently with one external floppy and 1 meg of memory
(a 501 clone). 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.

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....
