You can get IDE drives from a couple of mail order places. Scan the latest
Computer Shopper magazine. IDE drives are becoming a standard for Tandy
8086/80286 machines. IDE connectors are also included in some Dell
machines. As far as manufacturers, Imprimis sells a 100M IDE drive for less
than the equivelent ESDI drive. IDE gives good performance: better than
ST506 drives, maybe not up to ESDI/SCSI standards ( I am told ). I have
heard nothing but good things about the latest crop of IDE drives.
