 I have built acouple of H. Drives for the ST. My method is as follows:

Items needed : SCSI Hard drive (any size)
	       ICD Host adapter
	       Power supply (wattage determined by HD needs)

I have a Seagate st-138n, and it uses approx. 17 Watts MAXIMUM.
The host adapter uses maybe 10 Watts Max. and I have a 30 Watt 
power supply.

The ICD host adapter comes with all the software you need. From
this point on it is all just mounting and plugging it together.
(Setting drive select to zero: instructions come with drive)

First, I would buy the host adapter, it supports most SCSI drives, but
use this to determine what drive you will buy.
(It supports all Seagate, Miniscribe, and lots of others)

ICD Mailing address:
ICD, Inc.
1220 Rock Street
Rockford, Il 61101-1437
or
815-968-2228

Recommendation : Use SCSI....
It is faster, easier to work with (setup), and you can chain
up to 8 hard drives to just 1 ICD controller.
The adapter also has another ACSI in port for Laser printer, or other stuff.
