DMA/ACSI
Some of the models of the Atari ST series had a port to connect ACSI hard
drives, in fact I think all of them except the Falcon had a port for this,
from what I understand it was pretty hidious.

Sounds simular to the HD's originally used on the Macintosh 128/512 that
connected to the external floppy contector (no idea what it was, probably
MFM).
