Are there controllers available to support them? RD53s are Micropolis 1325s or 1335s which are standard ST506-interface hard disks (the difference between those two is in MTBF). These can be used directly on most PC controllers. For a Macintosh, you'd need an adapter board that tranlates from SCSI to ST506; Adaptec makes a couple boards with differing features. Chris
