 You should keep these rules in mind for the ACSI/DMA bus of the Mega STE:
 * The drive must not require initiator identification. Some drives require the computer to have a SCSI ID of its own, but the Mega STE has no full-featured SCSI bus (only ACSI/DMA) and does not provide this feature.

 ACSI is an acronym for '''Atari Computer Systems Interface'''. This peripheral bus is very similiar to the industry standard SCSI (Small Computer Systems Interface) bus. This peripheral bus allows more than one device to be connected to the computer by way of
 standard signal lines.
