I am hoping to soon aquire a 2000 with bridgecard. I also have
a segate 251 mfm-type harddrive. What is the best way for me to make use
of the harddrive? Do I need an st506 controller on the bridgecard?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, via email preferably.

You should only need a hard controller for the IBM side of the bus... I've
seen the controllers for about $50.00... Don't expect to boot AMI from the
disk on the IBM side though.. As far as I know, it cannot be done...
