Bill: I'm planning on putting a 1/4" cartridge tape drive on my 1040ST. (A 45/60 MB drive - uses DC300XL or DC600A carts.) I have a psuedo-Supra hard disk system: A Supra DMA/SCSI adapter, an Adaptec 4000 SCSI/ST506 controller, a ST251 drive, and a not-yet-installed Adaptec 3530 SCSI/QIC-36 controller. I don't have a tape drive mechanism yet. I'll probably have to write a driver for the SCSI/QIC-36 controller (I'll be doing it under OS-9/68000 though). Most ST Hard Disk subsystems use a SCSI-bus drive or controller, with a ST-DMA to SCSI adapter. Depending on this adapter, it should be posible to interface any SCSI controller as a second (third, etc.) SCSI device. Upto 8 SCSI devices are posible (this is *address space* - you may be limited by hardware limits (i.e. bus drivers, lack/limits on decoding).) Robert
