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. -- Matthew Lee Stier (919) 469-8300| Sun Microsystems --- RTP, NC 27560| "Wisconsin Escapee" uucp: {medusa, rti}!sunpix!matthew |
