[comp.sys.atari.st] Hard-Disk Construction Summary Request

totty@flute.cs.uiuc.edu (Brian Totty) (06/26/91)

	I am thinking again about building a hard drive for my ST.  I have
	an ancient 10 MB Supradrive in a shoe box case.  I was thinking
	about reusing the case & power supply & tossing a new drive in there.

	Can some kind people please send me infomation about any/all of the
	following questions:

	(1) What host adapters are available, where can I get them, how much
	    do they cost, what are the differences?
	(2) What drives do people recommend?  Where is a good source to
	    purchase drives?
	(3) Where can I get the specification of the data output by the
	    DMA port (what people refer to as ASCI I think)?
	(4) What kind of software would I need to write/obtain to make this
	    work"?

	Any information would be greatly helpful.  Is there a "Frequently
	Asked Questions" kind of wqrite up about building hard drives for the
	ST?
