Can someone tell me the advantages and disadvantages of using the Atari host adaptor for my home-brew hard-disk versus buying the (much)more expensive ICD or Supra or Berkley boards? I already have a clock on my sysptem, so that isn't important to me, money is! Has anyone built their system using the atari adaptor? What additional stuff will I need? Will it work with the Adaptec 4000 controller. What about formatting software? In short, I need information before I commit money I really hate to spend if I can do it myself. I am a pretty good hardware hacker, so I don't mind a little work to save myself a lot of money! ========================================================================= | Jeff Long jlong@blackbird.afit.af.mil (ARPA net) | | | | humble (and getting humbler by the day) graduate student; | | The Air Force Institute of Techology (what a great way of life??) | =========================================================================
