after having confused people about a 9 headed sabre, i thought
i would try to clear things up. this info comes from a preliminary
specification (SUBJECT TO CHANGE).

there are two versions, an 8HP and a 9HP.
It is an 8" disk, capacity 2.1/2.37GB with atransfer
rate of 24/27 MB/s. seek time is 3/13/26 (track-to-track/ave/max).
it is an ipi-2 (enhanced altho i don't know what that means) interface.
the way the sale rep talked, the 9HP is intended for 8data+1parity
although the manual says nothing of this.
