Here's my problem.....
I want to install a hard disk on my A500.
The knowns....
1.) I have a Seagate ST-238 left over from my PC (yech) days.
(I no longer have the Western Digital WD-1002-27X Controller,
though).
2.) I have a Xebec controller (full size card), probably not
useful for this. (Don't even know the model, since I got
this along with some other miscellany).
3.) I have a 180 watt pc power supply which can be used
to power the HD and any required electronics.
The constraint...
I would like to minimize cost.
Perhaps <= 100.00 for pc hd controller.
Maybe <= 50.00 for interface between pc hd controller
and Amiga's 86-pin connector ( I know this is simple).
OR, <= 175.00 for some kind of magic ST-238 to Amiga disk
controller board.
I don't care if it's Amiga-SCSI-ST507 or Amiga-ST507, as long
as it works and is reliable.
I would prefer 30 Mbyte RLL just like the old days, but I'll
settle for 20 (if I have to).
The question...
What do I need?
Any help would be appreciated.
THANKS,
