I've seen pictures. I _have_ a T-disk but no controller and no PSU. I
do not recall where I got it, but I'm sure it was 10+ years ago and I'm
sure it was free. My Amiga disk evolution was WEDGE/ST225 -> StarDrive/
Maxtor LXT213S* -> A3000/DEC RZ26.
The T-disk has a DC37 connector for SCSI, and a SCSI<->ST506 bridge inside,
right?
I have the ads trumpeting it from day one. Shame it took a very long
time to hit the market. They could have been at the tippy-top of a
teenie-tiny market. :-)

* The LXT213S was $375 for 200MB, semi-new (still under warranty which was
good when the magic smoke got out). I remember being very happy with that
drive. Still have it; it still has AmigaDOS on it. For power, I mounted
it on top of a C= 1571 power supply that I disassembled and ran screws up
through the perforations to keep them attached. There was barely enough
room on the back to use the perforations to screw down a blue-ribbon
connector on 5cm of cable to the drive on top of the PSU (people used to
love to see me bring my Amiga to meetings - they never knew what would be
hanging off the side next; at one point, the dual ST225s were in a
recycled Burroughs dual-full-height floppy cage just like the one I got
a mate to at Dayton this year for $5).
