I am looking for a new hard disk for my Model 80-041. It's got a ST-506 (or something like this) controller but I would like to add a hard disk with SCSI or ESDI interface. Is this possible without junking my 40 Meg ST-506 disk? Any suggestions or recommendations? Thank you in advance! With best greetings from Bavaria -- Florian

In my case, I have used both ST-506 and ESDI controllers in a PS2 compatible (Now sold in Europe by Bull as the BM500). I was using it with a Unix operating system sold by Interactive Systems and they do support multiple controllers as part of their configuration utilities. John M.
