I saw several months back a couple of postings about an article that
appeared in a German ST magazine 'C (I think that was the name of it)
that talked about a cheap and dirty way to interface a standard ST-506
drive directly from the DMA port using a simple home-made circuit board.
As I now have a 30 Meg hard disk sitting in a case just waiting for me
to get the money to buy an ICD or Supra adaptor and SCSI<-->ST_506
controller card that I don't have the money to buy right now, I would be
very intersted in the latest details of this system.  Supposedly it came in
the article with schematics and the driver software needed, and a later
patch even supported booting from the hard disk.  How about it, anyone
know where I can find the latest on this??
