I have a Compaq 40 Meg Hard Drive (I believe it uses ESDI format) that
I would greatly like to install in a 80386 based machine (NOT a Compaq).
The machine has a Western Digital Dual Hard/Floppy controller (Model
WD1006-xxx (not sure of the last few letters)) that uses 2,7 RLL format.
The drive is model # 94208-51 and part # 77747210.

Does anyone have the pinouts for the drive or any suggestions as to how
to get them?  Compaq and its dealers won't tell me; the company that makes
the drive won't tell me, either.

As a last resort, I would be willing to trade for a comparable drive that has
a standard interface.  I would even throw in the Compaq controller (It will
work in a machine with Phoenix BIOS) and cables.  Or a VGA monitor...

Many thanks in advance!!!
Rusty
