Thanks for all the posts and mail concerning the feasibility
(or lack thereof) of installing a CMI hard disk in our Compaq.

Unfortunately, we don't have a CMI hard disk. We have a CMS 
hard disk, which would seem to have been made by a completely
different company (though knowing the artistic licence people
take with their logos, who knows?), and therefore I must
once more humbly beseech you folks to help out. Apparently
CMS is even more of a 'no-name' than CMI -- does this mean we're
sunk as far as getting a controller?

The drive is obviously a 'pull' with an unknown number of hours
on it.  Can't seem to recall whether the drive itself was mal-
functioning or if the machine just couldn't use it and whoever it
was got a new drive and tossed the CMS.  I'll go find out if it
turns out to really matter.

Will I be better off just getting a HardCard or some such?
