In response to popular demand, I will be posting a detailed description of
how to build a Mac hard disk system using an ST506 compatable hard drive.
I hope to include as many details as I can, so as to encourage others to
do what I have done.

I am soliciting information on this subject.  If you have had experience doing
this and would like to contribute tips, please mail to me.

In particular, I am interested in experiences with:
    - The Adaptec 4070 controler and RLL drives with the mac (I have only used
	the 4000A controler),
    - Public domain software for troubleshooting the Mac SCSI port,
    - Suppliers of parts, including the controler, cables, power supply,
	and cases.
    - Performance issues.

I'll try to get the article posted by the end of the week.  Any information
is apprecieated.
