Anyone have a SASI card for the PC available and whatever low level
formatting program that is required....

I have an ATR8000 for my Atari.  Inside it has a module that goes 
between the
cpu and socket and provides a SASI interface.  That then runs to a Xebec 
SASI<->MFM
bridgeboard and then would control say an ST-225.

Problem is I don't seem to have the CP/M low level formatter .... I have 
all the higher
level stuff I think.... but this stopped me years ago with no low level 
formatter.

The other thing I've wondered is if there is a way I could hook a small 
SCSI drive
up to the SASI controller and have it work (save the whole bridgeboard 
and old
MFM drive route).
