Introduction:
The ST07A and ST08A Host Adapters are used in conjunction with a
Seagate AT interface drive and an IBM PC AT (or compatible)
computer. They are both half-slot boards, which provide a 40-pin
AT interface connector for systems lacking an AT interface drive
connector on the system motherboard.
The ST07A/ST08A support two AT interface drives. They provide
address decoding for hard drive I/O and buffering of signals
between the host and the hard drive.
The ST08A supports up to two floppy diskette drives:
* 5.25-inch, 260 KByte/1.2 MByte
* 3.5-inch, 720 KByte/1.44 MByte
An auxiliary DC power connector and mounting points are provided
on both boards for "Drive-on-a-Card" applications.
