I bought one in 1983, being the first kid on the block to have more than 10 Mb in a PC or XT. It has, and continues to, work flawlessly since that time. Regular ST506 interface, it should work with any controller (WD, Mountain, nameless clone, etc). A tad slow by today's standards, however, it's 40 ms average access. *-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-*-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=* | /\/\ike Silverstein | This can't be deja vous.
