   Realizing that many people want to get rid of their SS drives, and
that I could therefore pick one up cheap, I pose the following
question to the world:
   How "generic" are ST drives?  Can I open one and find a standard
34-pin connector inside?  If I could easily attach one to my ATR-8000
(CP/M machine, attaches to Atari XL), I'd pick one up pronto.
