I have this ST 506 (I believe) 10 meg hard disk drive and want to use it on the Amiga 2000 which I will have by (hopefully) next week. It is a Sider drive, originally made for Apple ][ usage. Any information on how I can do this? (Controllers, software needed)

Lee, The Sider is (I believe) made by Xebec and is a SCSI drive, not an ST506. In any event, check with your local dealer, Xebec was going to break out the drive/host adapter package…and so (if it is a SCSI drive) you can simply get a host adapter and hook it up. Obviously, if it isn't a Xebec drive, then the above could well be wrong. If it's an ST506 in that case, then C. Ltd. sells an adapter package that should do the trick for you. Contact Ed. Lippert [71330,2365] for information on the C. Ltd products. Don
