- Yeah, I'd like to know more about this too. (MFM's on A500s)
-
- I have a couple of MFM mechanisms in A-1 condition that are just
- sitting around. I'd like to get some use out of them preferably
- without using a lot of messy adaptors boards, etc.
-
- Alternately, I seem to recall aomeone mentioning that it was
- possible to hang an ordinary *BM-style Seagate ST-11M (or 11R)
- off of an A500 and run MFM HDs just fine.
-
- Anyone know where the info to build the necessary slot converter
- and teh necessary drivers and utility software could be found?
- (assuming this was for real.)
-
- thanks.
