With the growing interest in lower cost hard drives for the Mac on the net
recently, I started looking at some of the ads in the various mags. I found
several Seagate ST-225N (not 255) drives at about $380. They are 65 ms drives. 

I also saw "Adaptec"(?) SCSI to ST-506/412 adaptor boards ranging in price from
$100 to $300. These boards seem to be a reasonable alternative, although I have
no technical data on them, to building your own. The prices for 506/412
interface drives is very low compared to Mac only drives.

Does anyone have any further data on the adaptors? I'll collect responses and
post later.
