Well, the first thing to come in mind is a SH-204, the 20 MB hard
disk for the Atari ST, connected 19 Pin interface. basicly a beat
up SCSI. A somewhat wiered concept, because the drivecontrollers
did rebuild a full figured SCSI interface again to controll the
disks (well, except the said SH 204, which could only address SCSI
unit 0). The Megadrive 44 could select the ID ... nice afterthought,
the Megadrive 44 (and SH-205) case was exactly the one used to house
the PC-1 :)
Now, I might be wrong, but I remember the PC-1 to have a ACSI
interface ... or at least atari was thinking about that.
