I have a question that I am hoping a CATS person (or anyone) can answer.
I have in my posession a Seagate ST251 hard disk which is an IBM ST506 type of
hard disk. I have no cabels for it though. I don't suppose the A2090 comes
with cabels, so what I need to know is what kind of cabels will I need? Will I
be able to use cabels that would connect the hard disk to, say, a Western
Digital controller for the IBM PC, or are the cabels more exotic? Any help
would be greatly appreciated. I would hate to have both the hard disk and the
A2090 and be stymied by something as simple as cabels.

Any help The cables used are the same type used on the XT and clones. So yes I would say that if your Western Digital uses standard cables, you have all you need :-) >would be greatly appreciated.
