- The drive that you have is most likely an ST506. There
- fore try and get your hands on a Spirit Technologies
- HDA506 adaptor. I don't know if these are still around.
- I have had one with a Western Digital HD and Controller
- on my A1000 and have to date had no problem. Be sure to
- get the AutoBoot Kit with it. These were also made for
- the A500.
-
- BTW does any one know where I can get an AutoBoot Kit
- for the HDA506??
