Corwin Jr.) Newsgroups: comp.sys.ibm.pc Subject: DTC 5180 hard disk controller: opinions wanted Keywords: As above Message-ID: <4459@utastro.UUCP> Date: 13 Oct 89 15:24:05 GMT Organization: U. Texas, Astronomy, Austin, TX Lines: 13 I've a chance to pick up one of these controllers for less than $50. Basically, I'd like to know if there is a "gotcha!" in the controller. It's a simple 16-bit MFM controller for two hard disks (both of my HD's are 20MB Miniscribe 8425's). Any opinions or facts, good or bad, will be welcomed. I'll summarize if there is any interest. Many thanks! Harold Corwin -- Harold G.
