Original-posting-by: Pat_Barron@TRANSARC.COM Original-subject: ESDI hard disk on 520ST Reposted-by: emv@math.lsa.umich.edu (Edward Vielmetti) OK, so I just bought an Atari 520ST, and it didn't come with any documentation other than a "getting started" book, so I know very little about it. So please bear with me if this seems like a simple question, or has been covered before.... The 520ST has a hard disk port, but I can't find anywhere what kind of hard disk it's supposed to attach to. I know that one can, somehow, attach a SCSI disk to the ST. I have a Micropolis 85Mb ESDI drive that I'd like to attach to my machine. Using an Emulex MD21 adapter, I can make this look like a SCSI drive. What other pieces would I need to attach this drive to my machine, and where can I get them? While I'm at it, are there any good books describing the internals of the ST? I've been to just about every computer bookstore in the city, and even a few outside the city, and none of them carry *anything* about the ST. Thanks, --Pat.
