After many exhausting hours researching this question, I am still at quite a loss of what my options are... If anyone could please send me mail regarding this I would be very grateful. Several months ago I purchased an Amiga 500 and am look for the correct hardware to run IBM Compatible Hard Drives (Shugart ST506). I am in a position to purchase these type of drives at near to cost and would prefer them over SCSI type drives. Now, seeing that I own an Amiga 500 (sans expansion slots), can anyone give me any recommendations on the equipment I would need? (Slot Expanders, Drive Controllers, Power Supplies)? Surely there are some people in the Amiga world with these types of drives on their Amiga. IF so, I would be ever so grateful for so much as a drop of info. If everyone tends to think that SCSI is the way to go, what are some reliable vendors that offer such drives (cheap); what differences in hardware are necessary? Thanks in Advance...
