But why anyone would want to set up something with an
ST-412 interface on
the far end at this late date is beyond me.
The obvious reason is that you have a classic computer that uses one of
these boards with an ST412-interfaced hard disk hung off it [1] and you
want to make an image of that disk on an more modern system.
[1] Many machines in the UK did this. Just looking around me, there's the
Acorn Cambridge Workstation, the PERQ 3a (AGW3300), the Torch XXX and
Torch QaudX. And that's the ones I can see without leaving my chair
