I'm looking for anyone who's had experience interfacing a hard disk (not
Atari's or Haba's) to an ST.  I've been offered a relatively cheap 10M disk,
but will have to buy a controller and power supply for it.  Is this going to
be difficult?  Also, am I really getting a good deal on the disk?   I can
pick it up for $150 (new, but I don't know the manufacturer).  How much can
I expect to pay for a controller and powersupply?  Does the hard disk
interface in the ST make this easy?

Your comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated!

No problem is so formidable that you can't just walk away from it.
