Most definitely.

I connected a 245Mb MINIS from System Solutions and it has been working fine for
three years.
As well as the drive you will need a cable to convert from ACSI (Atari
interface) to SCSI (Small Systems Computer Interface) the industry standard for
small hard disk drives. System Solutions will also supply this. You will also
need some driver software, I used HD Driver, which was fast and excellent, also
obtainable from System Solutions (0181-693-3355).

HTH

Cheers,

Will.
