Question.
I am in the market for a harddrive and was offered a Miniscribe 8424 3�
20Mg drive for $150. It has an ST506 interface. Question follows; as
a niave user is this a good deal? What else would I need to make it go
on my system (A500 w/ 1Mg)? He says it came from an AT clone so I'm
not sure if it has power (am asking now).
Any help would be most greatly appreciated.

More info. The price is for the bare drive, no power supply, et al.

I have a miniscribe 3 1/2 20 meg drive. Don't remember the model
number but will look it up. It fit inside my 2000 just fine,
runs good ( I have my machine on the floor on it's side ). The
support from miniscribe was excellent and hookup was a breeze.
Miniscribe sent me a complete manual just because I asked for it.
This is a good price I paid over 250 about a year ago.
I don't know about the amiga 500 so I don't know how easy it is
to hook up a hard drive however mine was easy. I never have a
problem with the drive except that it makes a lot of noise on a
warm boot.

You'll now need a power supply, box, and host interface and adapter!
This will run about another $300 or so. If you're not the adventurous
type who wants to put it together himself, I'd stay away from doing
it myself! Although you do learn alot! (Thanks J.B.)
