Subject: can I use this with my Kaypro 10?

       Greetings. I got some custom hard drives for peanuts. When
       I took them apart (a nice enclosure with a PS for 2 HH 
       Hard drives and a fan) I found:
       
       1 custom board (Anyone hear of 8800 buss?)
         - Nothing interesting. It has one 50 pin connector and
           out comes another 50 pin connector that hooks with (below)

       1 Xebec (FAB 10427 Rev 2 [(A)MLI-6] ASSY 104526) controller board
         - This has a 50-pin input (will this work with my K10's
           ribbon cable that connects the motherboard with the WD
           controller?) Out comes a 34-pin drive control and 20-pin
           data cables (ST-506)

       1 ST-406 Hard drive. Looks old - 1982ish... It's a FH 5 1/4".

       
       Now, I know that I can use the enclosure for any standard
       ST-506 drive (or 2 HH) but I want to know if I can perhaps
       connect this to any machine. Again, anyone know if the K10
       BIOS (CP/M 2.2F in general) supports Xebec controllers?
       It seems to have the same motherboard-controller cable.

       Take care.

       P.S. I asked several questions, here, about CP/M, MBASIC, and
       other stuff. Does anyone want me to summarize and post?
