Hardrive.
Its sitting here in front of me, hoping it can be hooked up to my ST.
Well my questions are.
1) Does anybody know anything about Rodime 21meg HD model# RO204??
2) It has a card edge connector. One has 10 contacts, the other part has
   17 contacts, these two are separated by about a 1/2 inch.  Is this
   standar ST506?? or SCSI or ESDI.            
3) If it is ST506, I am under the impression I can use Adaptecs 4070 or 4000a
   controllers+host adaptor. can I do this for the others?
   I mean if it is SCSI or ESDI, do I just need a Host Adaptor??
   or do I still need a controller.
4) I bought a case and power supply so thats no problem but does the adaptor
come with a DMA cable?
5) Theres a wire trailing off this behemoth, is this a grounding wire??

thanks to everyone who can help me..
if possible e-mail me becuase, reading 30+ articles everyday, I tend to skip
reading this newsgroup sometimes.
