SCSI, ESDI, ADAPTEC, or PERSTOR for an AT Compatible. I am having trouble deciding upon the "optimal" Hard Disk or Hard/Floppy controller for my AT compatible. Is it true that SCSI has the highest transfer rates/second? Are the Seagate drives with the "N" letter tacked onto the number just reworked RLL drives? Why does the controller Seagate makes for these drives so cheap? And is SHAMROCK of Westlake Village, California a reputable company to deal with? I am trying to assemble a Hard Disk system in the 65 - 80 Mb range with approximately 17-28 Ms access time. Any help is appreciated. -- -===------===- From Jeff Pyne at Cerebral Cortex BBS System -==-==----==-==- (902)462-7245 3/12/2400 8N1 24h/7d -==-------==------ jeff_pyne%brains@iisat.UUCP -==-==----==-==- {uunet, utai, watmath}!dalcs!iisat!brains!jeff_pyne -===------===-
