Introduction:
The ST07A and ST08A Host Adapters are used in conjunction with a
Seagate AT interface drive and an IBM PC AT (or compatible)
computer. They are both half-slot boards, which provide a 40-pin
AT interface connector for systems lacking an AT interface drive
connector on the system motherboard.
The ST07A/ST08A support two AT interface drives. They provide
address decoding for hard drive I/O and buffering of signals
between the host and the hard drive.
The ST08A supports up to two floppy diskette drives:
* 5.25-inch, 260 KByte/1.2 MByte
* 3.5-inch, 720 KByte/1.44 MByte
An auxiliary DC power connector and mounting points are provided
on both boards for "Drive-on-a-Card" applications.

1.0 ST07A/ST08A Interface Connector/User Options
1.1 AT Interface Drive Connector: J1
J1 is a 40-pin header. J1 provides the AT interface connection to
the hard drive. Maximum cable length: 18 inches (.45 meter).
1.2 Floppy Diskette Connector: J2 (ST08A Only)
J2 is a 34-pin header. J2 provides connection to floppy diskette
drives. Refer to Section 1.6 for supported formats.
1.3 LED Connector: J3
J3 is a 4-pin header. J3 provides connection to a drive activity
indicator.
-----------------------------
| Pin 1 or 4 | + to LED |
-----------------------------
| Pin 2 or 3 | - to LED |
-----------------------------
