4657.0. "Hard drive question" by MASALA::GAITKENHEAD () Thu Apr 04 1991 05:03

    
    I recently purchased a fairly old WANG PC, I intended on giving it to
    my father-in-law for use in his shop. My question is this ; Would it be
    possible for me to use the Hard drive from the PC on my Amiga 500 ????
    
    I know I'd have to get a drive controller board, etc but I just wanted
    any advice on the subject and whether you think it's is feasable.
    
    All I know about it is that it's a 20Mb Seagate drive but I could find out
    more about it if that is required.
    
    
    						Thanks in advance

	George, give me a 'phone (Ayr ext 4298) as I will be selling everything you'll need to get your drive up and running on a 500 (may even be able to throw in another 20Mb drive too). I will be getting rid of a MonAmi jr (gives A500 3 ZorroII slots) and a A2090 controller, which can control 2 ST506 type drives and 7 scsi type drives. Call me..... Alan Thomson
