Quoting Oliver Lehmann <lehmann at ans-netz.de>:
Building up a MFM -> IDE bridge would be more
usefull for "all" ppl.
facing this problem. Or use some straight forward stuff like SD or
CF cards - who needs a 500GB disk drive in ST506 systems anyway...
What we are doing is to replace more than one drive, with the same logic.
So few spare GBytes ar enot that bad.
But a universal bridge is not so easy.... right.
Takes time, time, time ;-)
