Somewhere here I have the manual for installing the
Marpet Xtra Ram upgrade. If you think that might help
I could scan some relevent pages.
There was also an Aussie that was producing an IDE
interface and some other things whose site I can't find on
my bookmarks now. IIRC his name was Mario ------ and
the price wasn't too bad. The nice thing about the IDC
Link is that you can hang numerous SCSI peripherals
off the HD port like Zip drives, CDROMS, and Scanners.
Likely why they still command a good price.

Hi Curt!
Yes, I know about that site, but they want WAY too
much money for a used adapter for an old computer.
You would think that at this point, they'd be about
$20.00 or so, since I can buy whole ST's for about
that price. I just can't justify spending $150.00 or
more to put a hard drive on a $20.00 computer.
I just want to play...
So, I'll keep looking. Maybe I'll spot something cheap
on eBay or at the Trenton Computer Festival in May.
AERCO was a small Texas company that made little
gadgets for the Atari ST, Amiga and Timex/Sinclair
computers. When I worked for Zebra Systems, Inc. We
sold their products...
