[comp.sys.amiga.tech] 5 1/4 inch disk

I have a 5 1/4 inch disk drive which I'd like to hook up to an amiga. I'm
sure this must be possible, but I haven't a clue what kind of interface/
connector cable I should use. The drive is an ex-internal drive from an
old amstrad PC. Does anyone out there have a similar set-up? I'd 
appreciate your help, thanks,

Ask and you shall receive!  Do you get Amazing Computing?  I have submitted an 
article to them (which they have accepted for publication) on that very topic. 
 Should be out in March or April.  Oh...forgot to ask...is your drive a 40 
track or an 80 track (96 tpi) drive?  The article discusses interfacing 80 
track drives.
