I have a friend who has a harddisk with ST-506 interface and he want's to connected
it to his ATARI 520 ST. But since ATARI only sells SCSI interface cards (here in
sweden) he cannot use it with his ATARI.Now the question is has someone got a scematic of a ST-506 interface card for AT
ARI ST
(hopefully without PAL's or ROM's)?
---------------------------------------

Interfacing an ST-506 is easy (MFM or RLL I believe), if you can, get your
hands on an Adaptec MFM/RLL to SCSI controller card. That's how they do it
with the ST-506 drives in the Megafile.

If my numbers are failing me and it's not an MFM or RLL, well, then, sorry.
