   If you can come up with something practical and inexpensive to connect an   
   IDE drive to a computer with an ST-506 (assuming here that ST506 = MFM)   
   interface, you would have some interested folks.  Thinking mainly about old   
   XT computers that you can find MFM interfaces for, but IDE's just aren't out   
   there - at least not in the 16-bit AT variety.
