[comp.sys.atari.st] MAC DRIVE WITH ATARI ST?

smisra@eos.ncsu.edu (SAURABH MISRA) (10/09/90)

I was wondering... I have a Macintosh and and external SCSI drive
sitting on the same table as a dusty 520ST.  Can I in any way 
use my Mac hard drive with the 520ST ?

First, you need a HOST ADAPTER.  They are available from ICD, BMS of
Oakland (see the phone book), and Supra.

Second, to connect the Mac, you need a 50pin SCSI to Centronics cable.
They seem to be easy to make, but you can buy one from Supra.

Look at spending near $150 to connet the Mac drive.


Forget about the floppy unless you are a hardware engineer.
