Hi there,
  I have an opportunity to get a hold of a Fujitsu 345 MB HSMD drive
out of an old mainframe, and was wondering if there is any cheap and
easy way to hook up one of these drives to a PC.  Are there any
protocol conversion cards out there to allow you to hook one up to
either a ST-506 or SCSI type interface? (SCSI would be preferred).
Any idea who to talk to about such a thing, or better places to ask
this question?
   E-Mail responses would be preferred, but I'll try to keep an eye on
these newsgroups.

    Thanks in advance,

        -=<Dirk>=-
