Subject: Acorn Winchester unit

I found an Acorn Winchester unit yesterday. Still has the Acorn
Winchester board lurking below the Adaptec ST506-SCSI bridge board, and
a Rodime drive present. However, there's no case lid! If anyone ever
finds a shell of one of these in a skip, let me know :)

I almost missed picking it up (I was sifting through a lot of junk at
the time) as I could see the Adaptec bridge board and figured I didn't
need another one of those - I have a few already. Without the case lid I
couldn't tell it was an Acorn unit, but luckily someone else pulled it
off the shelf and I saw Acorn written on the back...

Q: what ROM(s) do I need present in the host system to drive this? Does
ADFS already contain code to talk to the Winchester board if present on
the 1MHZ bus, or do I need ADFS + some software, or is there a different
ROM altogether that I need?
