Since a deal for a compleye hard drive set-up fell through..
I am now entering the world of home brew HD.
basically everyone has suggested that I get the ICD Host Adaptor so that is
settled.
1) Can I hook up any SCSI drive to this adaptor(such as the N drives from 
Seagate)

2) What Controller card apart from the adaptec 4070 and 4000(a) work with
standard HD mechs(non scsi). IS there a WD, Xebec or possible OMTI substitution

3) What turns out to be faster, an N series drive or a controller/HD combo.

4) Can someone post all the ram expansion boards out for the ST that allow
for either 256k drams or 1 megabits.

thanks for any and all help
