Hooking it up should not be very difficult.  You will need a SCSI board.
For an RLL drive, you need an Adaptec 4070.  They can be had for as
little as $70.  The connections are:

1) drive to Adaptec:  (1) 20 pin and (1) 34 pin cable.
2) Adaptec to ICD: (1) 50 pin cable.
3) ICD to ST: Use the supplied 19 pin DMA cable.

The software with the ICD will do all the formatting.  However, I don't
recall them listing Western Digital drives.  You will need to know the
head/cylinder configuration to format it.

Hope this help.
