Is there some modern equivalent? or is is posible to make a controller using currently available hardware/cables/connectors and trying to find an old IDE or SCSI drive to go with it? Is there even circuit diagrams anywhere so I could attempt building a connection card?
Or if anyone has a good suggestion on any realistic method to get an Amiga 500 connected to a hard drive I'd be really happy to hear from you.
Thanks for the help!
