I have a Micropolis 170mb ESDI hard drive that is physically located
in an old  workstation.  I would like to connect this drive to an
IBM PC/XT to use as a second hard drive.  My questions are:

 1. Can this be done?  Does the PC/XT support ESDI?
 2. If it can be done, can anyone tell me where to find
    a good ESDI card/software?  Preferably mail order, but
    I live in the Raleigh/Durham, NC area if anyone knows of
    a place around there.

Thanks in advance,

Bill McKeown
