None of the chips on the controller card are >clearly SCSI nor IDE controller chips. >>The Apple HD 20 predates the SCSI specification and IDE, so there's no >>way it could be either.

It was designed to run off a 34 pin floppy connector. The older drives, MFM and RLL both used a 34 pin edge connector plus a second cable (or third if you count power). It will not work with IDE or SCSI. -- Dan Knight, president, Cobweb Publishing, Inc. <http://cobwebpublishing.com> <http://lowendmac.com> <http://digital-views.com> <http://digigraphica.com> <http://lowendpc.com> <http://reformed.net> I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing, and what a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization. -- Petronius -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
