Goochman #1 Posted January 20, 2003 Folks, I bought a 40meg ICDFaST HD for my ST many moons ago - The HD is starting to act up and I was wondering if anyone knew what kind of drive I could buy to replace it - Were these SCSI drives mapped to the ST's DMA port or IDE or what????

krupkaj #2 Posted January 20, 2003 Yes, there is SCSI harddrive with SCSI hostadapter . But not every SCSI disks works smoothly with it. So best is first try if disk works and then pay if it is possible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goochman #3 Posted January 20, 2003 Anything in particular I should look for when looking for a replacement? I prob will have to go through ebay to get an older one. Any size restrictions on these things - been awhile since I configured a HD on an ST. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonnenhexer #4 Posted January 20, 2003 The ST used an interface called ACSI, similar to SCSI. Can´t remember any restrictions at size, but as far as I remember, the biggest HD for the ST was about 80-100 MB. Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
