   Simply plug the Ajax in instead of the WD1772. There's nothing more to do
   because they are fully pin compatible. You need some hardware to use HD
   disks on the ST, of course.

Fine! (except the Ajax chip is quite expensive)

Do you know can I use same modifications as with WD1772 to get HD to works?
I have one that uses a GAL and it is quite simple. Or is there better
ways with Ajax?
