Hi, y'all,
I have this Epson SD-521  5.25" floppy drive that used to belong 
to a Memotech computer. As my current ST system has only one 
floppy drive and no hard disk, I thought of hooking the Epson drive
to my ST as a second disk drive. 

What I'd like to know is:
(1) Can it be done at all  and
(2) how hard is it?  (My technical expertise is almost nonexistent.)

I'd welcome any details on the required work. (Do I have to modify the 
drive unit in any way?  How to make the connection cable?)

Thanks in advance,

ehs
