- TA> I've come across an old Seagate ST225 hard drive unit (they use
- TA> the old MFM or RLL system according to www.seagate.com) that
- TA> used to belong to a 286 PC, until it was liberated when the
- TA> motherboard gave up the ghost. My question is, how can I connect
- TA> it to my Amiga A500 - I've had a look in Aminet, but haven't
- TA> seen a hack for it. Any help would be really appreciated! Please
- TA> e-mail!

- That should be able to work with an A2090 commie card which can
- handle 2 mfm drives and 5 scsi devices according to the FAQ. If its
- an 'a' model, it could even autoboot! I have one, and it autobooted,
- but took it out when the 40 megger locked up a wheel bearing and I
- got tired of bashing it to start it. Hows $50 + shipping COD sound?

- Cheers Tim, Gene
