	Another good Seagate drive is 277R-1.  It's a 65 megabyte RLL
drive at 28ms.  Make sure it's a -1 though if you decide to get it cause
those are the ones that are 28 and not 40 ms seek time.  I've been using
this 277R-1 for about a year now with no hitches at all.  Quite fast 
especially with my WD1006VSR2 controller, 25 megahertz 386, and a disk
cache that blows the CoreTest 2.8 sky high!
