HELP !!!!!!
I'm considering a project to build a Hard disk interface for a computer
that normally doesn't have the capablity to interface to one. What I'm looking
for is a good source of info on actually building a disk controller for
any (or preferably all) of the following hard disk interfacing protocols
SCSI, ESDI, ST506, ST412, SMD
(to clarify things, I'm looking for info on the pinouts, power requirements,
signal timings, etc, for the above standards).
Thanks in Advance.
