Space, the next frontier - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

I read somewhere that they work with the ST-506 interface, but certain
(newer) revisions won't work with the original 5MB ST-506.
 I don't know why - I just know it won't work with the one that I have.  I
think mine has a copyright date of 1989.

 <Talking about ST 506's,  I have an old 5 MB

???? they don't????  I thought they were commonly found with ST506s!  At
least that's the only one besides the ST412 (10mb) I've ever seen one with.
