3845.0. "RD53 for Amiga?" by FILTON::FENTON_R (Potassium Ethoxide Rules C2H5OOK) Fri Jun 15 1990 06:24
Speaking purely hypothetically you understand, if ( I say IF) one
were to come across an old, unloved RD53 (again, hypothetically,
being used as a paperweight by one's local IS department), just
how easy would it be/what would one need to make it function as
a hard drive on one's Amiga?
Please bear in mind you're talking to a relatively normal human
being here...
Thanks

| 3845.1 | what's your machine? How much would yoend? | WJG::GUINEAU | | Fri Jun 15 1990 08:38 | 12 |

You'll need an st506 controller (like an a2090(a) for the A2000).
Most amiga adapters are scsi only these days. You would need to get a
scsi-st506 converter.
For an A2000 it would cost $200-$300 by the time you got a box and power
supply.
About the same for an A500.

On the other hand, RD52s come with their own box and power supply
(the ones that had a Pro 350 in them). You can have two in a box:
bulky, but cheaper and quite easy to come by nowadays.
