[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] Looking for info on parallel port SCSI HD's

	I have recently been offered a (cheap!) 20 Meg SCSI hard drive and
a controller which connects to the parallel port of the Amiga.  Being an
'I-know-little-about-harddisks' type of person, I had never heard of a
hard drive which operates via the parallel port.  Therefore, I am after a
little information regarding the speed, features etc of said units.  I
understand it can't boot the system (which I can live with, being royally
P*ssed off with my floppy based A500), and that additional drives can be
daisy-chained off of the controller, but that's about the limit of my
knowledge.

	Anyone out there operating such a beastie?  Care to let me in on a
few industry secrets?  Thanks!
